Full_Name: Ashley Frost Version: 1.1.4 OS: Digital Unix 4.0d URL: Submission from: (NULL) (137.165.10.21) I couldn't find this information anywhere in the FAQ or mailing list archives, so I'm offering it to anyone who is having trouble with ./configure and pthread support for Digital Unix. It would be especially helpful under the Platform Hints in a section for Digital Unix. If configure stops with the error: checking if pthread_create() works... no configure: error: pthread.h and pthread_create are not compatible then do this to resolve the problem: CC="cc"; export CC LIBS="-lpthread -lexc"; export LIBS CFLAGS="-pthread"; export CFLAGS ./configure

BTW, thank you for your work on this project. Its exciting and a wonderful service to the community. Further information regarding Kurt's email follows. Regards, -Ashley On Mon, 1 Feb 1999, Kurt D.

I didn't realize you allowed offsite people to modify the faq-o-matic, although a second look shows this to be true. I also realize that this answer looks a lot like some of the other answers for other OS's regarding pthreads, however it is slightly different and took a little digging through the man pages on DU. If this had been in there, it would have saved me some trouble right off the bat. > >If configure stops with the error: > > > > checking if pthread_create() works... no > > configure: error: pthread.h and pthread_create are not compatible > > Where did it find the incompatible pthread_create() ?

I've made some changes that should resolve pthread detections issues on Digital Unix 4.0. In the meantime, I suggest (if using the vendor supplied compiler) CFLAGS=-pthread; export CFLAGS ./configure --with-threads=posix If using something else (like gcc): CFLAGS=; export CFLAGS CPPFLAGS=-D_REENTRANT; export CPPFLAGS LIBS="-lpthread -lmach -lexc"; export LIBS ./configure --with-threads=posix If this doesn't work, try without the -lmach library. I do NOT recommend using "-threads" nor "-lpthreads" as this will cause older posix routines to be included. (In fact, this is why the test failed). Note: this will build the complete system with threads (instead of just the threaded components). See Also: http://www.unix.digital.com/faqs/publications/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V40E_HTML/AQ2DPDTK/DOCU_020.HTM#heading_a.2.2 If you are using the vendor supplied compiler.

Provided workaround. Updated pthread detection for release with 1.2
