# =========================================================================== # http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_pthread.html # =========================================================================== # # SYNOPSIS # # AX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]]) # # DESCRIPTION # # This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. It # sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and linker # flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special C compiler # flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain compiler # flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment variables.) # # Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for # multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). (This # is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.) # # NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these flags, # but also to link with them as well. For example, you might link with # $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS # # If you are only building threaded programs, you may wish to use these # variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC: # # LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS" # CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS" # CC="$PTHREAD_CC" # # In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant # has a nonstandard name, this macro defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to # that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX). # # Also HAVE_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is defined if pthread is found and the # PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT symbol is defined when compiling with # PTHREAD_CFLAGS. # # ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads library # is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to run it if it # is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the default action # will define HAVE_PTHREAD. # # Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or if # you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based on work # by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/) (with help # from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros posted by # Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. We are also # grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users. # # Updated for Autoconf 2.68 by Daniel Richard G. # # LICENSE # # Copyright (c) 2008 Steven G.
