kandi X-RAY | pthreads4w Summary
Pthreads4w is an Open Source Software implementation of the Threads component of the POSIX 1003.1c 1995 Standard (or later) for Microsoft’s Windows environment. Some functions from POSIX 1003.1b are also supported, including semaphores. Other related functions include the set of read-write lock functions. The library also supports some of the functionality of the Open Group’s Single Unix specification, namely mutex types, plus some common and pthreads4w specific non-portable routines (see README.NONPORTABLE). See the file "ANNOUNCE" for more information including standards conformance details and the list of supported and unsupported routines.

QUESTION
I have found some details about using pthreads4w but could not find a complete example. What steps must be made in detail to install PThreads4W?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-21 at 20:46Here is how I put things together. The goal is to have pthread available as system library on Microsoft Windows so I can just #include
to my source code to use its functions.
The main issue is that the compiler/linker can find all parts of the library which are the header file pthread.h
, the linkable library pthread.lib
and its executable part pthread.dll
. It will look at predefined directories. For the header file it will look at the environment variable INCLUDE
or will use settings in environment variable CL
. INCLUDE
is only used by the buildsystem nmake. Builds with Visual Studio does ignore it. Settings in CL
is used by the compiler so it works on both buildsystems and we will use that. For pthread.lib
the compiler looks at the environment variable LIB
and the executable program searches for the needed pthread.dll
using the Path
environment variable.
I use the PowerShell. First we have to download and install pthreads4w from GitHub. It uses cmake
and can only be compiled with nmake
so we have to use the Generator 'NMake Makefiles'.
