Bug 300961 – dev-lang/python: libpythonX.Y.so has broken linkage when pthread is enabled on FreeBSD

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexis Ballier 2010-01-14 10:20:03 UTC]

# gcc foo.c -lpython2.6
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-gentoo-freebsd7.2/4.4.2/../../../libpython2.6.so: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status



libpython2.6.so doesn't get linked with -pthread; I'll attach a patch fixing this, the configure script does its magic but doesn't reuse that magic for setting LDSHARED.

Created attachment 216477 [details, diff]
fix

please merge it in the patchset

this is probably worth forwarding upstream; is still maintained or should we go for python3?

I assume that should read as "yes it is".

2 months later: ping

If you don't apply nor comment within one week, I'll feel free to commit this. This changes only fbsd stuff anyway.

I'm planning to include it in the patchset for dev-lang/python-2.6.5, which will be released in next week.

Fixed in 2.6.5 and 3.1.2.
