Windows build errors

[pHySiQuE]

The current revision has a lot of build errors on Windows having to do with unix threading. I don't believe it's even possible to include pthreads.h on Windows.

I am confused, did you madea apost that yo uhave it all working?

I mentioned before that a user said that if we add ptread for windows, then engine code can be unified as a Unix BSD compliance library for all platformes.
This is not 100% true since there is not cross platfrom standarised simd library. But as fart as threading goes it is true.

you just need to open the project and if you are using DLL you do not need to do anything, if you are using static linking tnem you need to include suproject
..\packages\thirdParty\pthread\pthread.vcproj

Ah, I see. I will add a note of that.

I actually had tried everything except Windows, since I never had problems in the past with building for Windows.

I included the pthreads.lib library and header folders, but I get these errors in Visual Studio:

in visual studio 2010 you need to add the libary
Properties/common Propertoes/add new reference

in VS 2009 you ne to make core, depande on pthread using dependencies.
