Hi Werner, Can you test it with "standard" X11 and pthread=on OS-X 10.5? If that works should we only allow pthread=on on OS-X 10.5+?
If it isn't going to work for most people on OS-X then I think we should probably set pthread=off by default. -Hazen Werner Smekal wrote: > Hi Hazen, > > I justed tested (shortly) the latest PLplot svn on Mac OS X 10.5.6 using > the latest XQuartz X11 server (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki) > since using the one from Apple is just a PIA. > > I configured PLplot with > > cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_TEST=ON ../plplot/ > > and compiled it. > > I think pthread is on since in the CMake output I find: > > -- Looking for include files CMAKE_HAVE_PTHREAD_H > -- Looking for include files CMAKE_HAVE_PTHREAD_H - found > -- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads > -- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads - not found > -- Looking for pthread_create in pthread > -- Looking for pthread_create in pthread - found > -- Found Threads: TRUE > > In the build tree the examples work as expected (more or less).
