Building with MSVC

Building with MSVC

[Erik Hensema]

Hi,

I'm new to MSVC 6.0, and I'm trying to build pthread.dll with cl and nmake.
Compiling is no problem, but linking fails with and undefined reference to
_beginthreadex and _endthreadex. According to the MSVC documentation, these
functions should be in msvcrt.lib and libcmt.lib, however, linking with /MD
or /MT doesn' work.

Any clue?

I've created this makefile:

OBJ=attr.obj cancel.obj cleanup.obj condvar.obj create.obj dll.obj errno.obj
\
        exit.obj fork.obj global.obj misc.obj mutex.obj private.obj
rwlock.obj \
        sched.obj semaphore.obj signal.obj sync.obj tsd.obj

OPT=/I. /c /GD

all: pthread.dll

clean:
        del *.dll *.obj

pthread.dll: $(OBJ)
        cl /Fepthread.dll /LD /MT $(OBJ) /link /def:pthread.def

attr.obj: attr.c
        cl $(OPT) attr.c
[...]

Hi Erik,

Have a look at buildlib.bat. The options used there work fine. In
particular the link command line is:

<ALL ONE LINE>

cl /LD /Zi *.obj /Fepthread.dll /link /nodefaultlib:libcmt
/implib:pthread.lib msvcrt.lib /def:pthread.def

Cheers.
Ross
