Title: Posix Threads Win32 Library Installation Help! [Visual Studio 2005, C]
Post by: option on April 14, 2011, 12:29 AM
Hey guys,

I have a problem. I'm currently learning how to program multithreaded apps using the posix thread library on unix (in c). I was getting tired of ssh'ing to my CS department's remote PC to run my code, so I looked into a Win32 alternative to pthreads.

Sure enough: http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ (http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/)

Anyways, I can't install this thing to save my life. And in-depth explanation of the problem I'm experiencing is here:

Please reply in this thread (as opposed to there) if you think you can help me out.
