[Libvisual-devel] Gthread detection support

[Duilio J. P. <dp...@fl...>]

Ok, here is the patch which allow libvisual to detect gthread-2.0
presence during configure process.

To use Gthread *within* libivisual, the macro LV_HAVE_GTHREAD2 is
defined on config.h on top level source dir.


Bye,
Duilio.

Nice,

One remark, could you change the patch so that glib is actually the
fallback, and not the native impl ?

If you change that, I'll commit the patch :)

Cheers,
Dennis

Ok, here is the patch, plus small correction within libvisual.pc.in.

About Gthread, are you sure that this is what you want? I mean, gthread
is by itself an abstraction library around the native thread
implementation, so in general there will be always one of such
implementations present, so probably we will never use gthread.


Bye,
Duilio.

True, but we might not have a backend for some weird unix systems. and
we can use gthread as a fallback there. Not sure, what does solaris use 
for threading ?
