Hello,
I would like to work on POSIX thread programming using TC v3.0. The required libraries for its development are STL (that's what I got from some online research). Could anyone please let me know:
1.) Where to download STL libraries.
2.) How to configure them with TC v3.0
3.) Are the specific library files pthread.h and mqueue.h are i suppose included in the STL library package?
Thank you.

You can't -- that compiler is too ancient.
STL is supplied with a compiler because it is compiler-implementation specific. Your compiler doesn't have it because the compiler pre-dates STL. Upgrade to a modern compiler such as …

Thank you for the information. I understand it now that the compiler is too old to implement thread programming. I have installed Dev C++ on my system and I am getting used to it. However in its include files I did not find the "pthread.h" and "mqueue.h" files required for thread programming and IPC messaging. I could find them online somehow, but does it require special configuration of sort, or should I insert them in the include folder?
Thank you.

pthread.h is not natively supported on MS-Windows operating system. But you can get win32 port of that.
