HP-UX

Hi!
I'm linking my hpux code using -lpthread (gcc), yet it references libpthread_tr.1,
the debug version of the pthread lib. How do I force it to use pthreads?

Thanks,

Thats weird, did you check the output of these

Code:

ldd yourproggy
ls -l /lib/libpthread.sl

To use that lib with tracing facility you have to explicitly use -lpthread_tr, maybe /lib/libpthread.sl is pointing to libpthread_tr

Thanks for the reply andryk. That's what stumps me.

Here's ldd on my binary:

/usr/lib/libc.2 => /usr/lib/libc.2
/opt/langtools/lib/libpthread_tr.1 => /opt/langtools/lib/libpthread_tr.1
/usr/lib/libxti.2 => /usr/lib/libxti.2

The odd man out here is /opt/langtools/lib/libpthread_tr.1

Where is it picking up /opt/langtools/lib from? I didn't specify it in the linker path. I'm not even specifying -lpthreads, instead using the gcc pthread option -D_REENTRANT -pthread

I haven't explicity specified -L/opt/langtools anywhere in the linker path.

$ ls -l libpthread*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 159744 Apr 13 2004 libpthread.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 228486 Apr 13 2004 libpthread.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21 Aug 4 2005 libpthread.sl -> /usr/lib/libpthread.1

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 Aug 4 2005 libpthread_tr.sl -> /usr/lib/libpthread_tr.1

Strangely,
lrwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 24 Aug 31 13:22 libpthread.1 -> /usr/lib/libpthread_tr.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 14 Aug 31 13:22 libpthread.sl -> ./libpthread.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 24 Jan 22 10:14 libpthread_tr.1 -> /usr/lib/libpthread_tr.1

Is there a way to force a hpux binary to use /usr/lib/libpthread.sl instead of the trace version?

I think you can safely correct the link libpthread.sl to point to /lib/libpthread.1 as i have this on my hp11.00-pa (and use the -lpthread for linking), /usr/lib/libpthread.1 is the same file as /lib/libpthread.1 not a link to /usr/lib/libpthread_tr.1.

Code:

root@hp1100:/usr/lib>
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  139264 Jul 12  2002 libpthread.1
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  226958 Jul 12  2002 libpthread.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root root     21 Jan 26  2002 libpthread.sl -> /usr/lib/libpthread.1
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  167936 Jul 12  2002 libpthread_tr.1

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root root     24 Jan 26  2002 libpthread_tr.sl -> /usr/lib/libpthread_tr.1

Maybe someone else is working with pthread on your box and did that setting
