Bug 24385 – glib-2.0 has invalid -pthread flag in its pkgconfig file

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2003-07-13 06:27:30 UTC]

My gthread-2.0.pc has this line: 
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgthread-2.0 -pthread 
-pthread obviously isn't a valid linking flag, it should probably be -lpthread. This bug causes 
#21284. 
I have glib-2.2.2. 
Going home from linuxtag now and won't be connected to the net for a few days, so I hope 
you can reproduce this... 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Update: -pthread is valid, but only on powerpc. According to info gcc. I hope so :-) 
Have to start packing, liuxtag ending, so have to go now - hope someone can make 
more sense out of this. If not just wait for me to get home and work on it again...

your 'emerge info' please ? What arch is this on ? Try recompiling glib.

Yeah, sorry - was in a hurry (leaving linuxtag) when I submitted this... 
I tried remerging glib, no good.

could you attach the config.log of a glib merge ? See if it gives any clues.

hmm, this may have been a pkgconfig bug. Recent versions should have this
fixed.
