this is a weird error, which i don't know about.

it looks to me as if you broke your project file.
could you try getting a diff between your changed Gem.vcproj file and
the one in master (in case you are using TortoiseGIT, there should be a
nice "git diff" tool in the context menu)
watch out for any stray "b"s.

that was a good guess, i found a stray "b" in the project file.
but i didn't do it.
i downloaded everything again from the git.
it's in the win-vs2008 gem.vcproj

Name="VCLinkerTool"
AdditionalOptions="/MACHINE:I386"
AdditionalDependencies="pd.lib opengl32.lib glu32.lib b freetype235mt_D.lib FTGL.lib ws2_32.lib pthreadVC.lib"

so, taking this out (and the freetype & FTGL libs) it got again stuck with a missing
pthreadVC.lib.

it was already very hard to find the needed pthread.h.
(i did clean up my disc's and then it was gone).
it's not in the 'regular' gits of pd-van or pd-ext.
i only found something following a download advise for the Pd/sources in the page for building Pd on Windows .

but no pthreadVC.lib or pthread.lib.

googling didn't bring me useful wisdom here.

where to get, buy, borrow, steal it?
