[ZooLib-dev] GCC Headers "false alarm", but a linking problem now...

[Richard C. <rd_...@sb...>]

It turns out the headers issue (no NAN defined) was a false alarm...the=
 FreeBSD gcc ports package didn't install the latest headers. I moved over=
 to FreeBSD 5.1 (with a proper GCC 3.2.2 toolchain) and it's all compiling.

However, it's not linking properly -- buttonmessage_src/realmake lacks a=
 libraries definition for POSIX (just one for LINUX). When I duplicated the=
 LINUX line, I had to remove the reference to "png" (not in standard BSD)=
 and the reference to "pthread" wasn't found. Here's what the man page has=
 to say:

"The current FreeBSD POSIX thread implementation is built in the library
  libc_r which contains both thread-safe libc functions and the thread
  functions.  This library replaces libc for threaded applications."

You can get the same effect by specifying the -pthread option to GCC, as=
 some other *BSD versions did, though I think everyone else is past that=
 now.

So, what are your thoughts on this? Where should the FreeBSD threading/build=
 options go? (Or is it time to grag in GNU Autoconf?)
