See the README.threads in the main perl 5.004_xx development |

|
|
distribution (x >= 50) for details of how to build and use this. |

|
|
If all else fails, read on. |

|
|
If your version of patch can't create a file from scratch, then you'll |
| 6 |
|
|
need to create an empty thread.h manually first. Perl itself will need |
| 7 |
|
|
to be built with -DUSE_THREADS yet. If you're using MIT pthreads or |
| 8 |
|
|
another threads package that needs pthread_init() to be called, then |
| 9 |
|
|
add -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT. If you're using a threads library that only |
| 10 |
|
|
follows one of the old POSIX drafts, then you'll probably need to add |
| 11 |
|
|
-DOLD_PTHREADS_API. I haven't tested -DOLD_PTHREADS_API properly yet |
| 12 |
|
|
and I think you may still have to tweak a couple of the mutex calls |
| 13 |
|
|
to follow the old API. |
