I'm trying to clean up the autoconf (and README) mess wrt. threads a bit, but I think I need some hints ;) I can't figure out why there is a separate --with-dec-threads option... Is there a reason it can't be autodetected like we do for other thread systems ? Does DEC Unix do something very different but functional when leaving out the '-threads' option (which is the only thing -dec- adds) or is it just "hysterical raisins" ? And then the systems that need different library/compiler flags/settings... I suspect noone here has one of those machines ? It'd be nice if we could autodetect this without trying every combination of flags/libs in autoconf :P (But then, if we could autodetect, I assume it would've been done long ago... right ? :) Do we know if those systems still need those separate flags/libs ? Should we leave a reference to them in the README, or add a separate README.threads file with more extensive info about threads and how to disable them ? (I think README is a bit oversized, but that's probably just me.) And are we leaving threads on by default ? If not, the README will have to be re-adjusted again :) -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
