Hi Bjorn,
Unfortunately, the currently version of Open MPI for Windows doesn't
support Posix nor Solaris threads.
However, the work of supporting MinGW is proceeding, which will support
GNU compilers for building Open MPI on Windows, and it may partly
support pthread, but still needs a lot of tests.
Regards,
Shiqing

I am building with VS 2008 and the compiler (cl) and the standard
libraries that goes with
it, including the windows thread library. I have noted that ompi_info
requires either Posix
or Solaris threads to report that open-mpi has thread support. Do I
need to change the
thread library and/or do I need another compiler?

Bjorn Regnstrom

Not all Windows compilers work well enough with all threading models
that you could expect satisfactory results; in particular, the
compilers
and thread libraries you use on linux may not be adequate for Windows
thread support.
