Compilation Instructions: Linux: Make sure to include the pthread library when compiling the threaded server example.
Windows: When you compile this program on Windows, make sure you add wsock32.lib to the library module list (Project->Setting->Link under VC++).
TCPEchoServer-Thread.cpp requires a PThreads library to run under Windows. Here's how I got this to work using the pthreads-win32 library in VC++:
- Download the latest snapshot of pthread-win32 from http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32. You probably want the precompiled version named pthreads-yyyy-mm-dd.exe.
- Copy the include files pthread.h and sched.h to some appropriate spot. If the compiler does not already know this spot, tell it about it. (I put the files in the same directory as the source and included . in the "Additional include directories" list (Under VC++ 6.0: Project->Settings, C/C++ tab, select "Preprocessor" category).
- Add the correct library to the library list (Under VC++ 6.0: Project->Settings, Link tab, select "General" category, ). I used pthreadVC.lib (V = VC++, C = C-style exception handling). You select the pthread library based on the behavior you want and compiler you are using. Read the pthreads-win32 readme for details.
- Finish setting up your project.
- Copy the DLL to the appropriate spot, such as somewhere in the path or in the same directory as the executable.
