Hi, I got recently into some troubles when building libica. configure.in calls AX_PTHREAD macro, but it's not defined anywhere in libica source tree and requires autoconf-archive to be installed during the build. And it can be problem for distributions, where this package can be missing (eg. RHEL). I think the correct approach is to copy the ax_pthread.m4 file from the macro archive into acinclude.m4 stored within libica sources. Or maybe because the pthread functionality is always present in recent distros simply hard-code the "-pthread" option into CFLAGS. There is nothing conditionally depending on the configure check in the code or in the makefiles if I see correctly. Thanks Dan |
