Bug 30474

Summary: Cannot build audio/grip if devel/pth is installed

Description chrise 2001-09-10 02:40:00 UTC 
If devel/pth is already installed, building audio/grip fails with undefined references to pthread functions (e.g., __pthread_detach, __pthread_fork).

This problem was previously reported and ostensibly fixed: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=28874

However, while this fix is successful if devel/pth is not installed, the problem recurrs if devel/pth is installed.

How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/devel/pth && make

cd /usr/ports/audio/grip && make

It's not only audio/grip that fails; *many* threaded applications will
fail if the devel/pth port is installed, including, IIRC, nearly all
the KDE and Gnome ports.  In short, the devel/pth port is not really
compatible with ports maintained for the FreeBSD native threads library.
"Fixing" that would probably be next to impossible - maintaining two
sets of patchfiles for each port which uses threads :)

G'luck,
Peter

I fixed devel/pth. Please test in ports-current.
