10.2 application development level THREAD support

Scott McDade — Fri, 26 Oct 2001 20:03:04 GMT

I am still trying to get threads working on my HPUX 10.2 machine. Actually, I am trying to compile a C++ program that uses threads and appears to need the definitions of "thread_t" and "sema_t" and I can not find them defined in any of the *.h files on my workstation. I have installed the DCEProg bundle. I was hoping the needed *.sl and definitions would be in that package but no luck! Does anyone know whatelse I may need for THREAD support?

10.20 does not have kernel threads support...it has support for user threads through DCE. I believe you have to bind your application against the libdce libraries.

I'm not really a developer, but hope this helps anyway.

Hi,

Also, hp.com has a nice service: hpux-devtools. Look at this search, it doesn't solve your problem instantly, but at least it's a direction you can dig:

Scott,

I guess this message is a follow-up to your previous message.

Being a developer, you should have this URL handy. This may help you a lot while doing programming on HP.

http://devresource.hp.com

Following URL is a link from the above page. It talks about threads&multiprocessing.

http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechTypeListingPage_IDX/1,1704,10318,00.html

I am hoping, you would find the required information there.

Being a system administrator, I know only how to help developers. I can't develop :-)

Scott,

Would you consider moving to HP11.0?
I know for sure that threaded apps run just fine on v11.0.

I happen to have read somewhere that the pthread library can only be used with 10.30 onwards, though I can't dig up the reference right now.
