The terminology is a little confusing. There's "linuxthreads" for those running linux apps in FreeBSD using the linux emulation modules. Then, there's a port of linuxthreads to FreeBSD which runs natively, ie. no linux emulation, and gives 1-1 kernel threading to apps that link to it. Both require some options to be turned on for kernel/world builds that are not on by default. (see http://lt.tar.com) Julian Elischer has agreed to commit the patches to remove the options and make the code change permanent, when I send him the patches. I'll send him the patches as soon as I can test them after a "make world", which I'll do as soon as the libcrypt build problems are fixed. > 2) if not then 'make world -DLINUXTHREADS' ? See above. > 3) when it's decided can someone explain how to use this stuff nativly? See http://lt.tar.com . I also have some patches for squid, glib and I'm working on gimp to compile using the FreeBSD port of linuxthreads. Others have had success in varying degress with NSPR (mozilla), ACE and others. -- Richard Seamman, Jr. email: dick@tar.com 5182 N.
