GNAT and Pthreads

GNAT and Pthreads

[Werner Wex]

Hi everybody

I'm trying to use GNAT 3.03 on a Pentium running Linux (Kernel 2.0.0).
There is a library called libpthreads used in the GNAT Runtime, I
think to support tasking. 
The problem is that this library is not included in my version of Linux.

There is some source code in the GNAT directory under the 'threads' 
directiory, but this code does not compile and it seemd to be written
for 
SUNOS only.

I also tried to download a package called 'libpthread' from the 
sunsite.unc.edu-LINUX.archive. This library (in ELF Format) does create
executables. But this executables keep crashing in the body elaboration
of the tasking initalisation with a segementation fault.

Does anybody out there know where to get a correct working libpthreads
for use with GNAT 3.03 or where to find the sources to compile such a
library


Thanks 

Werner

I downloaded a binary GNAT 3.05,  which came with
libpthreads.so.1.60.4.  If nobody else can help,  I'll mail it to you,
or arrange some other way for you to get it.
