Well. What are the requirements for your package? Does it need POSIX threads? Does it need some kind of thread support, and copes with the different kinds that exist? For the simplest part, throw out the LDFLAGS setting in Makefile.am (if anything you should be setting AM_LDFLAGS; LDFLAGS is reserved for the user). Then have the user on GNU/Linux do ./configure LDFLAGS=-pthread and on Cygwin ./configure Depending on what your project copes with, you may want to take a look at the ACX_PTHREAD macro in the Autoconf Macro Archive: http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/acx_pthread.html Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
