Also, how should -stable threaded applications be compiled and linked? You mentioned before that "-pthread" should be used rather than linking with libc_r? Does that apply to -stable too? I think -stable thread apps need to be compiled with "-D_THREAD_SAFE" and linked with "-lc_r" but I'm not sure anymore. > -- > John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ > CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
