Description Brian Claywell 2010-09-02 18:16:55 UTC

The sci-libs/gdal-1.7.2 ebuild advertises the threads USE flag, but regardless of its setting, configure always reports that thread support is disabled even if pthread is available. Examination of the ebuild reveals that $(use_with threads) is missing in the econf arguments.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge sci-libs/gdal-1.7.2 with threads USE flag enabled.
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
checking whether we should include thread/mutex support... thread safe support disabled.
...
  enable pthread support:    no

Expected Results:  
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE... yes
...
  enable pthread support:    yes
