Message-ID: <49590D0A.4050508@tedpavlic.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/49590D0A.4050508%40tedpavlic.com ``` I notice that every time I build git on my OS X 10.4.11 (PowerBook G4) system, I get a bunch of: powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: unrecognized option '-pthread' Doing a little search, I see: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Unix-porting/2005/Mar/msg00019.html ==== The C library on Mac OS X is always thread safe (well the ones which can be thread safe and are defined to be thread safe by the POSIX standard) and always include the pthread library. ==== So I get the feeling that -pthread can be removed from the MacOS build line without any impact (except for removing those warnings). Just something cosmetic. -- Ted Pavlic ```
