I've filed bug 218641 to avoid documenting the issue in UPDATING. ac_cv_* usage implies users should not disable POSIX semaphores if the platform provides those. r230031 described some limitations of the previous implementation on FreeBSD 5.0-8.4. PTH was removed in r363790, so the only way to make "multiprocessing" usable is via SEM. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
