# ===========================================================================# http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_pthread.html# ===========================================================================## SYNOPSIS## AX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])## DESCRIPTION## This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. It# sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and linker# flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special C compiler# flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain compiler# flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment variables.)## Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for# multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). (This# is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)## NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these flags,# but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link with# $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS## If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use these# variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:## LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"# CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"# CC="$PTHREAD_CC"## In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant# has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to that name# (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).## Also HAVE_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT is defined if pthread is found and the# PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT symbol is defined when compiling with# PTHREAD_CFLAGS.## ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads library# is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to run it if it# is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the default action# will define HAVE_PTHREAD.## Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or if# you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based on work# by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/) (with help# from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros posted by# Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. We are also# grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.## Updated for Autoconf 2.68 by Daniel Richard G.## LICENSE## Copyright (c) 2008 Steven G.
