I've been trying to compile Boost on OpenBSD 3.8 with no success, but I would like to have the threading library available. I've gone through the list a few times, and the only thing related to OpenBSD was posted back in '02 or '03.
I compiled GCC 3.4.4 with threads because the default compiler is not threaded and run ./configure as the docs say, but I still can't get it to work.
We'll need to know what errors you're seeing before anyone can help.
John. This gets repeated several times: gcc-C++-action bin/boost/libs/thread/build/libboost_thread.so/gcc/debug/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/barrier.o In file included from /home/quantum/boost_1_33_1/boost/thread/detail/config.hpp:18, from /home/quantum/boost_1_33_1/libs/thread/src/barrier.cpp:12: /home/quantum/boost_1_33_1/boost/config/requires_threads.hpp:29:4: #error "Threading support unavaliable: it has been explicitly disabled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS"
GCC is configured like this: -bash-3.00# i386-unknown-openbsd3.8-egcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-unknown-openbsd3.8/3.4.4/specs Configured with: /usr/ports/lang/gcc/3.4/w-gcc-3.4-20050401p0/gcc-3.4-20050401/configure --verbose --program-transform-name=s,^,e, --disable-nls --with-system-zlib --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java --enable-cpp --enable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-threads=posix --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.4 20050401 (prerelease) I have the option of trying GCC 4.0 and 4.1, but GCC 3.3 failed to compile with Posix threads turned on. I tried using the configure script and then running make to execute the makefile - shouldn't the configure script have detected threading availability in the compiler? Thanks
