gtkhx and pthread

[psyba]

Trying to compile ghx 0.8.8 and I get this error during make:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DLOCALEDIR=\"\" -I/usr/local/include -I. -I.. -I../intl -Wall -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -pthread -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/local/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -no-cpp-precomp -flat_namespace -DHAS_TELLDIR_PROTOTYPE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -traditional-cpp -c options.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-pthread'

I have been told pthread is broken in os x, does anyone know where I can get the library's source or how to fix the borken link?

After further research, it looks liek pthread might not be the issue, I'll post to rest of the error when I get home. I would really like to see this ported tho. Sorry for all the spam, I am quick to announce new things I have learned to help others, correct or not.

I have pin pointed all the errors in the code, I just don't see what exactly is wrong with the code. I get a whole slew of new errors when messing with gtkhx 0.8.9, if anyone would like to help me port this.

-pthread? shouldn't it be -lpthread ?

No, pthread is something called by gcc, and is not calling the library I guess(from what I was told). I tried that actually, and still got the same errors. It has something to do with and error in dfa.h which is called by options.c and causes it to mess up. I don't understand the code so I can't fix it.... Ignore -pthread all together, it isn't causing the troubles I don't believe, that same error happens with every other source file before it and they compile fine.

This is the line of code where it fails:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><HR><pre>
/* dfasyntax() takes three arguments; the first sets the syntax bits described
earlier in this file, the second sets the case-folding flag, and the
third specifies the line terminator. */
extern void dfasyntax PARAMS ((reg_syntax_t, int, int));
</pre>[/quote]

I don't see a class(assuming it should be a class) reg_syntac_t being defined or described in that file. It could be in one of the includes, but I am guessing not because of the error? options.c calls that function, leaving more undefines. I really just don't know.....

I would rather see gtkhx 0.8.9 ported, but I get a whole new set of errors. When I download the source there is a broken alias to config.sub, which makes no sense to me at all.... I tried removing that and get more errors, and more..... that's why I am focussing on 0.8.8, seams easier [img]images/icons/smile.gif"%20border="0[/img]

i'm probably talking out of my ass, but it looks more like not a problem with pthread, or with the file, but with make's attempt to use pthread. or maybe gcc's attempt to use pthread. which version of the developers tools are you running?
