[Mldonkey-users] pthread support in configure

[Simon]

hi all,

pthread support changed a lot at configure time in the last CVS
commit (2.02-20). i have read many misundestandings in its usage on this
list: this is my fault, i should have explained it better in the
changelog (hence this mail, do not expect to see any other one soon :))

basic usage is to write simply:

./configure --enable-pthread-lib

period. this should work for most platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, Tru64 and
Solaris). however if your installation/compiler is not detected, you can
force the threading library to be used. for example, for Linux, if you do
not like using gcc -pthread, you can force libpthread by writing:

./configure --enable-pthread-lib=-lpthread

i hope this will clarify things a little bit more. i promess to be more
explicit next times (or to explain it better to MLDonkey) so that i don't
need to send any more mails! :)
