[Boost-users] Re: How to compile BOOST on Linux with NPTL threads and STLPort

Hi, I am trying to use BOOST thread and regex libraries on Linux. I am able to compile them with sTOOLSS=gcc-stlport option. But, I would also like to specify that I would like to use the NPTL thread lib instead of pthread.

I don't understand this. At least at my system (2.6.7-1-k7-smp, Debian), the choice is made not at compile time, but it run time. Ordinary, programs use NPTL, but if I export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 the old pthreads are used. - Volodya
