Summary: Configure does NOT set properly *FLAGS for thread support
Initial Comment:
On Tru64Unix 5.1A(but also older version like Digital
Unix 4.0 for example), there have to be specified
CFLAGS="-pthread" and CXXFLAGS="-pthread", so that
configure can detect working pthread.h.
In case of Python-2.3b1 even when user set those both
variables before running configure, at the link step gets:
cc -o python \
Modules/ccpython.o \
libpython2.3.a -lrt -L/usr/local/lib
-L/software/@sys/usr/lib -L/usr/local/openssl/lib
-L/usr/lib -lm
ld:
Unresolved:
__pthread_self
__pthread_create
__pthread_detach
make: *** [python] Error 1
$
This can be easily fixed:
$ cc -pthread -o python Modules/ccpython.o
libpython2.3.a -lrt -L/usr/local/lib
-L/software/@sys/usr/lib -L/usr/local/openssl/lib
-L/usr/lib -lm
$
I guess in this case LDFLAGS are in effect. So,
configure should make sure -pthread is appended to all,
CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

OK, I can confirm this bug is fixed in cvs. I used
--with-dec-threads configure option and -pthread -ieee were
corrently appended to CFLAGS by configure itself. Thanks!

Sorry, but my Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.3) Gecko/20030523 does not recognize the link to
download page (the "Download" word really is NOT clickable).
Trying to access

I'm sorry for the delay in communication, I was away for a
week from net. Could anyone send me the latest version of
patches I should use for Python-2.3b1? I'll try cvs as I
read that some stuff was already merged into ... I'm a bit
lost what is alread checked in and what not yet, so ...

A solution was already checked in that solves thread
problems for several architectures. Please test current CVS
and report if it works or not.

This problem has a tentative solution. Please test the
patch in http://python.org/sf/719359
Scroll to the bottom and click Download on the

So, this is a solution:
CC="cc -pthread" CXX="cxx -pthread" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS
-pthread" CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS ./configure

This is specific for Dec/Compaq/HP compiler. The manpage for
cc says:
-pthread
Directs the linker to use the threadsafe version of
any library speci-
fied with the -l option when linking programs. This
option also tells
the linker to include the POSIX 1003.1c-conformant
DECthreads inter-
faces in libpthread when linking the program. This
option also defines
the _REENTRANT macro.
As I remeber from experience, it's not enough to use it
really as LDFLAG supplied to ld. The code has to be compiled
with that flag already and therefore I set CC or CFLAGS to
contain this value. Same applies for CXX or CXXFLAGS.
Actually, there's a configure macro check, I saw it
somewhere in documentation on the web. I posted that once
into some my bugreport in GNOME bugzilla. You can dig out
from there that URL. Unfortunately, bugzilla searches never
worked for me. :(
As for gcc:
$ CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2" CC=gcc CXX=g++ ./configure
[...]
checking whether pthreads are available without options... no
checking whether gcc accepts -Kpthread... no
[...]
checking for --with-dec-threads... no

from config.log:
configure:3753: checking whether pthreads are available

return 1;
(void)pthread_detach(p);
return 0;
}
configure:3802: result: no
So, to conclude, -pthread has to be specified even for
gcc/g++. Simply, always on

Is this only with the Dec/Compaq/HP compiler (cc/cxx)? Do
you know if python links ok with gcc?
