I am trying to compile libaws (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libaws/) library in Windows using cmake. I have included openssl, libxml, libcurl and I am using this command line.

C:\libaws>cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" -DCURL_LIBRARY="C:\tools\curl-7.28.1\lib" -DCURL_INCLUDE_DIR="C:\tools\curl-7.28.1\include" -DLIBXML2_LIBRARIES="C:\tools\libxml22.7.8.win32\lib" -DLIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR="C:\tools\libxml2-2.7.8.win32\include" -DPTHREAD_INCLUDE_DIR="C:\tools\pthread\include"  ..\tools\libaws-0.9.2

It throws the following error:

-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 10
-- Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 10 -- works
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info

-- Check for working CXX compiler using: Visual Studio 10

-- Looking for include file pthread.h

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:78 (MESSAGE):
Could not find pthread development headers

I have included ptherad.h, semaphore.h etc. in C:\tools\pthread\include, and provided that as a command line flag: -DPTHREAD_INCLUDE_DIR=”C:\tools\pthread\include”. In my CMakeLists.txt, I added 

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${PTHREAD_INCLUDE_DIR})

Any ideas?

    Visual Studio doesn’t come with a “pthread” implementation. I guess you’ll need to use another compiler, like MinGW.

    @jens-a-koch is right: my answer should not be accepted! Please “unaccept” so I can remove it.

    I belive that your CMake find module might not be using the PTHREAD_INCLUDE_DIR define (similarly to what@ drescherjm said).
