When libkse gets installed as libpthread, the above check will be different. But, if we want the thread library to be selectable by PTHREAD_LIBS, this isn't what you'd want if PTHREAD_LIBS != -lpthread. This was going to be the next hurdle to jump over. If FreeBSD wants to take the simple approach and only support one thread library in ports (-pthread == -lpthread) and not make it selectable via PTHREAD_LIBS, then its not a problem. It would be nice to be able to support all our thread libraries, but I grow weary. -- Dan Eischen _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
