undefined reference to `pthread_create'
Hi

I wanted to learn communication between threads and I used a simple example but
I faced with this error while I have a sofware that uses this functions without
any problem
so would you please help me to know the reason
thanks for your help and great favor.

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>




void *hello_world (void *arg)
{

printf ("Hello world\n");
return NULL;
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
pthread_t hello_id;
int status;

status = pthread_create (&hello_id, NULL, hello_world, NULL);
if (status != 0)
//err_abort (status, "Create thread");
status = pthread_join (hello_id, NULL);
if (status != 0)
// err_abort (status, "Join thread");
return 0;
}



/tmp/cceZX3sJ.o(.text+0x47): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
/tmp/cceZX3sJ.o(.text+0x60): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `pthread_join'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I had one more question
I read in docs that when the parent thread terminates the child threads would be terminated too
but we can change the priority of a thread so is it possible to give a thread a priority more
than parent's. and can a parent terminates one of its child that has priority more or equal to its priority?

thanks

Best Regards.

pthread_join

PTHREAD_JOIN(3) 					     Linux Programmer's Manual						   PTHREAD_JOIN(3)

NAME

       pthread_join - join with a terminated thread

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_join(pthread_t thread, void **retval);

       Compile and link with -pthread.

DESCRIPTION

       The  pthread_join()  function  waits  for  the  thread  specified  by  thread  to  terminate.   If that thread has already terminated, then
       pthread_join() returns immediately.  The thread specified by thread must be joinable.

       If retval is not NULL, then pthread_join() copies the exit status of the target thread (i.e., the value that the target thread supplied	to
       pthread_exit(3)) into the location pointed to by *retval.  If the target thread was canceled, then PTHREAD_CANCELED is placed in *retval.

       If  multiple  threads  simultaneously try to join with the same thread, the results are undefined.  If the thread calling pthread_join() is
       canceled, then the target thread will remain joinable (i.e., it will not be detached).

RETURN VALUE

       On success, pthread_join() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.

ERRORS

       EDEADLK
	      A deadlock was detected (e.g., two threads tried to join with each other); or thread specifies the calling thread.

       EINVAL thread is not a joinable thread.

       EINVAL Another thread is already waiting to join with this thread.

       ESRCH  No thread with the ID thread could be found.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       After a successful call to pthread_join(), the caller is guaranteed that the target thread has terminated.

       Joining with a thread that has previously been joined results in undefined behavior.

       Failure to join with a thread that is joinable (i.e., one that is not detached), produces a "zombie thread".  Avoid doing this, since  each
       zombie  thread consumes some system resources, and when enough zombie threads have accumulated, it will no longer be possible to create new
       threads (or processes).

       There is no pthreads analog of waitpid(-1, &status, 0), that is, "join with any terminated thread".  If you believe you need this function-
       ality, you probably need to rethink your application design.

       All of the threads in a process are peers: any thread can join with any other thread in the process.

       See pthread_create(3).
