I'm finally getting to the 64bit installation and having some trouble.
It appears that Microsoft's support for odbc ended with Vista/Windows Server 2008. What libraries are folks attaching to?
Also building a 64-bit pthread has been a problem. I downloaded the latest, and Visual Studio (9) can't seem to make heads or tails of the project. Making one from scratch has its own problems. I found a post saying a pthreads 2.9 was due real soon now with 64 bit support... but that was 3 years ago.

Another point: AFAIK HDF5 does not launch any threads. It only uses some synchronization methods of pthreads. These could very easily be implemented and skip the need for yet another library.

Scott,
I compiled pthreads for 64bit almost out of the box. It works fine so far with HDF5. Note that I linked statically in order not to mess with any other library. To make it work, you need to patch pthreads (see below). I also added the following lines in H5TS.c in H5TS_first_thread_init, but that's only for static linking
#ifdef _WIN32
#ifdef PTW32_STATIC_LIB
pthread_win32_process_attach_np();
#endif
#endif

I implemented the thread safe version of HDF5 for Windows to get past some issues writing to HDF5 files from different threads. I hoped I didn't need to bother since each thread had exclusive access to one file, but testing proved otherwise.
So the thread-safe option uses PThreads (32 bit). This code will shortly be moving to a 64 bit platform. A quick search didn't turn up a 64 bit variant. Is there a way to implement this in 64 bit?
Scott
