THREAD Problems

Scott McDade — Thu, 25 Oct 2001 19:58:23 GMT

I an trying to get a C++ program running on 10.20 that has been running on a Sun workstation running Solaris 5.6 (CShell).

I am running into problems linking functions that appear to be defined in "libthread.a", "libposix4.a" and "libpthread.a" libraries. Does anyone know anything about these libs and if so where I can find them?

The porting site has a lot of libs I would try there first.

Good luck.

pthread libraries are provided by default with 11.0. For 10.20, you need to install it from the DCE DevKit on the OS CD. Please remember, 10.20 doesn't support kernel level threads. You need to have atleast 11.0.

Hello Scott,

and for that reason (no kernel threads) you will have to take about "thread-safety" and use "jacket-routines" where neccessary!

Good luck,

Sri: I am not familiar with the "DCE DevKit" when I browse the OS media I find several DCE bundles but not the one you mention. In looking on the CD I find DCE-Contrib, DCE-CORE, DCE-CoreAdmin and DCE-CoreTools.

I installed the DCE-CoreTools as it describes them as Application development tools but I am still not able to find the thread - related libs. I have attached a file that lists which DCE bundles are on my 10.2 media. HELP?????

Scott,

I do not have a CD now but I can recall now with the help of your attachment. Install DCEProg. They should have the pthread libraries. Without installing itself, you can verify by doing a find inside the /CDROM. You need to mount the CDROM first.

find /CDROM -name libpthread.a

If my memory is still valid, it should be under DCEProg.
