The prefix '__imp_' signifies that your main project (i.e. not the
pthreads_win32 project) is expecting to import those symbols from a DLL
(but it found a static link lib, rather than the DLL link lib that it
was expecting). Basically, there's a mismatch between your main project
and pthreads_win32. Most likely, your main project also needs to
#define PTW32_STATIC_LIB (so that BOTH projects expect a static lib).
Hope that helps,
John
