Ah, but the Hurd servers are already built with cthreads which is wired right into gnumach. Any OS-critical program should rightly be built using the facilities provided by Mach, I think, unless that is to be somehow abstracted? My understanding was that rather than a big monolithic kernel, the ide

Good deal. From what I was reading about pth and its support for pthreads, it is important to note that pth is non-preemptive. Apparently there is nothing in the pthread API that requires this, but some apps which expect this behavior may not function correctly. So this is not really an ideal repla

Hi! Well, I ran all of the test apps and they appear to work. For my own test I compiled the web browser "Dillo" which relies on pthreads extensively. Amazingly it compiles and loads, but it appears to malfunction. It gave an error about no "shmem" and loaded, but would not follow any url's and cou

Ok, I have enacted my changes and have created a pretty decent patch for pth-1.4.1 which you can get here: http://www.geocities.com/doug_hilton/ I decided against posting it to the list as it was around 8k when gzipped. I have run minimal tests so far, but the pthread test appears to be working.

Hello all! I have made some more attempts to compile (not yet link!) the run-translater using C++. In difference to what I said before, it is not just hurd, but also other packages that prevent this, namely libc0.2 and gnumach. Therefore, I won't just sit still and wait for pthreads. Summary o

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This, I imagine will be a bit of good news :-) I had to do some severely ugly hacking to get configure past the well-known sigaltstack problem, but once I was able to do this, I was able to compile pth using the following configure switches: ./configure --with-mctx-mt

New pth attempt - failed (for now)

I was trying to get a pthread substitute going and tried old pth. Apparently this has been done before and the same problems - tests for sigstack and sigaltstack make Hurd go out to lunch. I think it will compile, and I am hacking configure.in to try and disable these tests and go with the failsafe
