I've been merging Terry Lambert's patches to ldap-3.3 (which include the Critical Angle patches as well as some of Terry's own) with the existing ldap port, and managed to get a working build (which needs an hour or two of cleaning up). The port, however, requires pthreads, which requires libc_r. I was wondering how to deal with this. Two questions: 1) How to detect the existence of pthreads? I assume a pre-configure test for libc_r should do? 2) Should pthreads be required in the default port? Since they are not available with an out-of-the-box 2.2 FreeBSD, I assume not, in which case I'd have to break the pthread patches out into a seperate set of files, and only apply them if a particular make variable is set. Does this make sense? P.S. Who else (if anyone) is working on ldap at present?
