Linking problem

Linking problem

[Mats Aubell]

Hi all, 

I'm having problems getting the pthread library to work. I've followed the
instructions which can be found in the faq
(http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/faq.html). I have the dll file in the
Windows catalog. The 3 headers files are in the same folder and the lib file
has been added through the tools->options->projects->vc++ directories. When
I compile I get this error msg:

ssds error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__pthread_create
referenced in function _main

The relevant source code can be seen under. 

#include "pthread.h"


void * threadBehavior(void * arg)
{
	printf("TEST\n");
	return 0;	
}


pthread_t m_threadBehavior;

int	main(int argc, char	*argv[])
{
if (pthread_create(&m_threadBehavior, NULL, threadBehavior, NULL))
{
    printf("Cannot create the behavior thread.\n");   
    return false;
}
return 0;

I'm running WinXP and Microsoft Visual Studio 2003. Getting quite desperate
for help, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mats Aubell

That is not the place where you add the linker option, instead add the 
pthreadVC.lib in the project properties -> linker -> input -> additional 
dependencies tab. And that should work. Which pthread*.lib to link, is 
specified in the README file of pthread installation.

hope that helps,
