FPC source to cThreads unit and the thread manager associated with threading under linux presently calls a pthreads.so object. When I did my research I thought I was correct in making an assumption that pthreads.so would require a pthreads project with it's own make file ;-) That is the latest and greatest pthreads project which is now associated with glibc. > pthreads is the standard, not the implementation.

Your link points to > LinuxThreads (judging by the name, I didn't download): pthreads is not the standard. pthreads.so is the implementation of POSIX thread specification to be precise :-) Ok. You mentioned NPTL. What can you tell me about that? Is that the project that makes pthreads? I'm looking to get the latest and greatest source of posix threads so I draw upon that code and perhaps even come up with a native version for FPC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
