Can I get Unix's pthread.h to compile in Windows?

Question

If I try to compile a program with

#include 

in it, I get the error:

pthread.h: No such file or directory
         


        

Answer 1

As @Ninefingers mentioned, pthreads are unix-only. Posix only, really.

That said, Microsoft does have a library that duplicates pthreads:
