Yes, ${PTHREAD_LIBS} should be used, except perhaps for ports that are libraries. Under the proposed scheme, libraries could be weakly linked to a stub pthread library (or even pthread stubs in libc I suppose). Then when an application (strongly linked to _a_ threads library) loads/references the library, that library uses the same threads library that the application is linked to. But threaded executables still need to be linked to some threads library, and that should be selectable via PTHREAD_LIBS. -- Dan EischenReceived on Wed Sep 10 2003 - 11:41:09 UTC
