Re: [Dev-C++] Multi-threading on Dev-C++ on Windows XP

* PThreads are characteristic of UNIX enviroments and are not native 
implementations in Windows XP. Afortunately, Red Hat guys ported to 
win32. You can find them here
http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
This is a good choice, because the degree of portatibility is high. Of 
course you will need to link your program to the library.

* Another option is to use the Win32 API, that although breaking the 
portability is often a good choice: no extra libs are required and 
usually gives a good performance. A lot of
information and technical resources can be found at MSDN. A starting 
point could be:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/processes_and_threads.asp

* Finally, last but not least, if in addition to threads data structures 
such as liken lists and so on are used, a possibility is to use glib, ( 
http://www.gtk.org ) which brings a portable
thread implementation.

Hope this can help.
