Hi kmx-
The detection for the pthread library is currently broken.
To build PDL with pthreads you'll need to explicitly set
the values of WITH_POSIX_THREADS, POSIX_THREADS_INC, and
POSIX_THREADS_LIBS where the comment indicate what worked
for my strawberry perl install was:
WITH_POSIX_THREADS => undef,
POSIX_THREADS_LIBS => '-LC:/chm/strawberry/pthreads/lib -lpthreadGC2',
POSIX_THREADS_INC => '-IC:/chm/strawberry/pthreads/include',
and the C:/chm/strawberry/pthreads contained the pthreads
install location. I'm actually working on the detection
code this evening so that if a pthread library is in the
correct location it would be detected and used.
I'll give your library a build try this evening if I can.
Cheers,
Chris

Chris and/or Rob,
could you please try the following:
1/ take
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/p5.14.2.1-RC/strawberry-perl-5.14.2.1-portable-32bit-beta-1.zip
2/ take
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/32_libs/5.14-extras/32bit_pthreads-2.9.0-bin_20111101.zip
(unzip into the same dir as 1/)
3/ try to build PDL with pthreads support
My quick test failed during PDL installation (but it was really a quick
shot)
Any feedback welcome

We've tested the PDL pthread support with "POSIX Threads
(pthreads) for Win32" at http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ .
It is nice because it allows PDL computations to make use
of multicore processors for calculations. Always nice to see
those factors of 2X, 4X, 6X, or more in speedup....

As for the future gcc-4.6.2 toolchain there is also an interesting
question about including pthreads or winpthreads support as PDL is
AFAIK
somohow able to handle threads this way (not sure if this is valid for
Win32)
Yes, pthreads works with PDL on Win32.
There's a crash in one of PDL's pthread test scripts that needs to be
sorted
out, but the basic functionality seems to be fine.
