5 # ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
\r
9 # This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads.
\r
10 # It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and
\r
11 # linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special
\r
12 # C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain
\r
13 # compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment
\r
16 # Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
\r
17 # multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
\r
18 # (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
\r
20 # NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these
\r
21 # flags, but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link
\r
22 # with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS
\r
25 # If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use
\r
26 # these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
\r
28 # LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
\r
29 # CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
\r
32 # In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
\r
33 # constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to
\r
34 # that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
\r
36 # ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
\r
37 # library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to
\r
38 # run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the
\r
39 # default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
\r
41 # Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or
\r
42 # if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based
\r
43 # on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/)
\r
44 # (with help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread
\r
