Linking problem

That is not the place where you add the linker option, instead add the 
pthreadVC.lib in the project properties -> linker -> input -> additional 
dependencies tab. And that should work. Which pthread*.lib to link, is 
specified in the README file of pthread installation.

hope that helps,
