libkse to libpthread switch on FreeBSD

Posted by Hemos on from the moving-forward dept.

Dan writes "Daniel Eischen says that libkse has been renamed back to libpthread and is now the default threads library. The gcc-pthread option has also been changed to link to libpthread instead of libc_r. For alpha and sparc64 machines, libkse has not been renamed and links are installed so that libpthread points to libc_r. FreeBSD GNOME team's Joe Marcus Clarke confirmed that the ports system will switch to using libpthread as the default for PTHREAD_LIBS shortly. A patch set is currently being tested, once that completes, the necessary port hooks will be in place to easily build applications linked to libpthread."

    combines wonderfully with the BSD color scheme.

    Other than that I see no interest in this thread.

    Maybe BSD should try to reply to other people's comments instead of starting new threads.

    You know that BSD is really dying when the trolls don't even bother posting their cut-and-paste drivel here.
