c - How to run pthreads on windows

Question

I used to use a mac to write some c programs but its not working now.. I have to use an old windows laptop for a while..

I installed codeblocks and tested a simple program using pthreads. Unfortunately it didnt work..

  pthread_create(&thrd1, NULL, thread_execute, (void *)t);

It keeps saying undefined reference to 'imp_pthread_create'

how can i fix it and will i face similar problems writing these sort of programs?

Thanks

You need to grab pthreads-win32 as pthreads is a Unix component not a Windows one.
