I think it was John Baldwin who wrote: >> I think having a magic option to gcc that translates to 'link with the >> foo library' is rediculous. What's next, a gcc -math to get the math >> functions in libm? As far as POSIX is concerned, that's precisely how it works. `c99 foo.c -l m' means `link in the math functions, wherever they may happen to live'. Likewise `-l rt' for realtime -- and (relevant to this discussion) `-l pthread' for threads. There is no requirement that any of these libraries exist as such. -GAWollman
