Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 04 Aug 1998 11:41:02 +0930 From: "Daniel O'Connor" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I was trying to port a program which required thread safe X libs, so I recompiled XFree86 after editing the config file for FreeBS, and it seemed to work fine (OK, so I didn't exactly test it, but at least XInitThreads() now works :) Is there any reason why the FreeBSD version of XFree86 doesn't enable threads by default? Perhaps the port could have an option for it? (I can make a patch for the port to do so if it would be useful :) Also is there any chance that the thread cancellation routines will be implented any time soon? :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
