It's not in the FreeBSD tree yet, but a library does exist for draft 10 on sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthreads and it does run with FreeBSD 2.0. > > A student here has gotten the 1.1.5.1 library running on 2.0R, maybe. > We're stuck at the moment and unsure whether it's our bug, differences > between 1.1.5.1 and 2.0R, or a bug in the original library. The 1.1.5.1 version is several releases out of date, had many bugs which are now fixed and lacked many features. > > Anyway, is anyone else working along this line?

Work continues on the pthread library adding new features, bug fixes, etc. Plans are also to roll the current code into the FreeBSD source tree soon. > > dayton CAP
