Re: PthreadVSE.dll or PthreadVCE.dll

[Ross Johnson <rpj@ise.canberra.edu.au>]

Hi,

Generally it appears that there was a major change
between versions 5 and 6 of Visual Studio.
Pthreads-win32 pre-built dlls and libs are built
with MSVC 6.0.

Throwing some keywords at www.Google.com I found some
potentially useful information, suggesting that the
problem is in Visual Studio 5 - assuming that it's not
a simple disk full problem.

Here are some of the URLs that I found:

Suggests an internal VS bug with fix:-
http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/mswinswdev/lnk1106ifodf.htm

Suggests that there is an incompatibility between
VS 5 and 6 libraries, and so building the library from
source using VS 5 may be the solution:-

Many more links can be found here:-

Hope this helps.
