I am using pthreadVC2.

I am using the packaged DLL. Since I am using the VC version, it is my
understanding that this doesn't matter.

I've just tried to build the library myself using VC8.0.

Using 'nmake clean VC' path failed, since the resulting library
was referencing msvcrt80.dll, which the executable couldn't find.

Converting the .dsw file in VS2005 and using it resulted in a
usable library - though I am not sure which 'version' I have.
__CLEANUP_C and  PTW32_BUILD are defined. Can you enlighten me?
Do I need to define __CLEANUP_C during my build as well? I am
just a bit nervous using a library where I haven't fully grokked
the side effects.


Cheers,

Stefan.
