Status: Closed Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 4 Submitted By: Harri Pasanen (harripasanen) Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: --with-threads fail for 2.1c2 on HPUX 11

Initial Comment: ./configure --with-thread --without-gcc . . . checking for --with-threads... yes checking for mach/cthreads.h... no checking for --with-pth... no checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no checking for pthread_detach... yes . . . make test . . . test_thread test test_thread crashed -- thread.error: can't start new thread
. . .

4 tests failed: test_asynchat test_fork1 test_thread test_threadedtempfile

--

The cause here is that at link time -lpthread is not included. If I manually relink with -lpthread, then no tests fail tests pass. 113 tests OK.

Sorry, that patch no longer works.

Would you mind submitting a new patch that only does a minimal change (rather than re-indenting a large block of code)?

You can find a patch to fix this against python 2.1 at: ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/outgoing/pub/python-2.1-416696.patch

You'll need to rerun autoconf to test.

This is a duplicate of bug #210665 (PR#360).

Assigned to Guido. Harri, can you supply a patch? You seem to know what you're doing on this box, and nobody else does: every release something about threads is broken on HPUX, and no patch submitted to date has ever cured this.
No active Python developer runs HPUX, and I think we've all given up trying to sort out the conflicting claims of HP-UX users.
