I am trying to use the pthread library on windows. I downloaded a zip with a Pre-built.2 folder in it and followed the instruction.

What I have done so far:

  • all .h files from POSIX\Pre-built.2\includeinto MS VS2013\VC\include folder
  • all .dll files from \dll\x86dll\x86 into VC\bin
  • all .lib files from lib\x86 into VC\lib
  • In Property->Config->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies, pthreadVC2.lib;pthreadVCE2.lib;pthreadVSE2.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies) // pthread.lib already in Inherited values

I included pthread.h inside my program and when trying to build solution, the following error appears:

Error   1   error LNK1104: cannot open file 'pthread.lib'

Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

EDIT:

The Include Directories and Library Directories are 

A:\Program Files %28x86%29\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include;$(IncludePath)

and 

A:\Program Files %28x86%29\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\lib;$(LibraryPath)

respectively now. But I still get the same error message.

Add the folder containing the LIBs to Configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Library Directories.
