Comment 2 Jason E. Hale 2012-08-09 17:58:07 UTC
It would apply to any version of FreeBSD.  See:

Does this also apply for multimedia/webcamd ?

BTW: I just committed a patch there:

Yes.  I see in multimedia/webcamd the Makefile has:
LDFLAGS+= -L${LIBDIR} -lusb -lcuse4bsd -lpthread -lutil

-lpthread should be replaced with PTHREAD_LIBS

That's fine, but the port Makefile would still need:
MAKE_ENV+=      PTHREAD_LIBS="${PTHREAD_LIBS}"

Do you mean, MAKE_ENV or MAKE_ARGS?

MAKE_ARGS+=      PTHREAD_LIBS="${PTHREAD_LIBS}"

Currently webcamd is using MAKE_ARGS for passing variables.

I guess that's up to you.  It's really a matter of precedence.  An environment 
variable in make has the lowest precedence.  In this case, it would work 
either way since PTHREAD_LIBS is defined with "?=".  If it were defined wtih 
"=" then MAKE_ARGS would be necessary.

Is this PR still relevant?

> Is this PR still relevant?

Apparently so.  I am the originator of this PR.  I suppose that since I have become a committer since I submitted this, I could take care of it myself since a significant amount of time has passed.
Comment 9 Carlo Strub freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-12 04:40:52 UTC
I am sure hselasky is happy to get rid of this PR ;-) It would be nice if you could take it over.
Comment 10 Hans Petter Selasky freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-12 04:49:20 UTC
Hi,

There is a new version of libv4l in the works:

svn --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \
      checkout svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b/trunk/ports/multimedia/libv4l

Comment 11 Tijl Coosemans freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-10-14 14:50:57 UTC
PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS are deprecated.  They were needed when FreeBSD had multiple threading libs but this hasn't been the case for a long time.  Either -pthread or -lpthread is fine.  They mean exactly the same.
Comment 12 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-09-03 07:16:25 UTC
Maintainer was reset some time ago.  Reassign to submitter.  Add maintainer (mailing list) to Cc: .

Closing this bug report as it is irrelevant now.
