I think it should be possible to build without pthreads if you just make a few minor tweaks. I fiddled around with this a little bit and got something that seems to mostly work on a branch here (though I have not really tested it): https://github.com/acozzette/protobuf/tree/without-pthread
I mostly just had to do the following: - Update configure.ac to unset HAVE_PTHREAD - Update stubs/common.cc to provide a no-op implementation of the Mutex class. Of course this assumes that your application will be single-threaded; if you were to build the code in this configuration and then use threads anyway, things would go wrong because you have data races caused by the lack of real locking.
