c++ error C2893: Failed to specialize function template

I'm trying to run this but I keep receiving an error.

#include <iostream> #include <thread> using namespace std; void primeNumbers( int num, int prime ) { cout << "The prime numbers equal to or below " << num << " are: " << endl; for ( int i = 1; i <= num; i++ ) { prime = 0; for( int j = 2;j <= i/2; j++ ) { if( i % j ==0 ) { prime++; break; } } if ( prime == 0 && i != 1 ) cout << i << endl; } } int main() { int num; int prime = 0; cout << "Enter a positive integer: "; cin >> num; std::thread primeN( primeNumbers ); primeN.join( ); system("pause"); return 0; } 

I've copied everything from the output window.

I don't know much about multithreading as I just started learning about it yesterday. So if I did something completely wrong please let me know.
