/config/acx_pthread.m4, add PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS defines to
your template/${port} file.
-Windows Systems
-===============
-
-Windows systems do not vary in their thread-safeness in the same way that
-other systems might, nor do they generally have pthreads installed, hence
-on Windows this test is skipped by the configure program (pthreads is
-required by the test program, but not PostgreSQL itself). If you do wish
-to test your system however, you can do so as follows:
-
-1) Install pthreads in you Mingw/Msys environment. You can download pthreads
- from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/.
-
-2) Build the test program:
-
- gcc -o thread_test.exe \
- -D_REENTRANT \
- -D_THREAD_SAFE \
- -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS \
- -I../../../src/include/port/win32 \
- thread_test.c \
- -lwsock32 \
- -lpthreadgc2
-
-3) Run thread_test.exe. You should see output like:
-
- dpage@PC30:/cvs/pgsql/src/tools/thread$ ./thread_test
- Your GetLastError() is thread-safe.
- Your system uses strerror() which is thread-safe.
- getpwuid_r()/getpwuid() are not applicable to Win32 platforms.
- Your system uses gethostbyname which is thread-safe.
-
- Your platform is thread-safe.
