Complete build options for Pthread API

[elfring]

Would you like to add the configuration script "AX_PTHREAD" to your build specification?

[hallyn]

Thanks, this sounds worth doing.

[elfring]

Please reopen this issue until the additional macro call will be correctly used.

@elfring?

@brauner, @marcosps: I suggest to pass additional parameters for the call of the macro “AX_PTHREAD”.

[brauner]

When you claim "correctly used" it would be nice to know what you mean by that. What parameters are you referring to and would you be up for sending a patch?

[marcosps]

@elfring I left the AX_PTHREAD without any additional parameters because AC_SEARCH_LIBS wasn't using anything too. What do you suggests to do in this case?

[elfring]

How do you think about an update suggestion like the following?

 # Check for some libraries
-AX_PTHREAD
+AX_PTHREAD([LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
+CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
+CC="$PTHREAD_CC"],
+           [AC_MSG_ERROR([Could not configure POSIX threads support])])
 AC_SEARCH_LIBS(clock_gettime, [rt])
