Preparing for Compilation

The following items are required to compile and link a multithreaded program. Except for the C compiler, all should come with your Solaris operating environment.

• A standard C compiler

• Include files:

  • <thread.h> and <pthread.h>

  • <errno.h>, <limits.h>, <signal.h>, <unistd.h>

• The regular Solaris linker, ln(1)

• The Solaris threads library (libthread), the POSIX threads library (libpthread), and possibly the POSIX realtime library (libposix4) for semaphores

• MT-safe libraries (libc, libm, libw, libintl, libnsl, libsocket, libmalloc, libmapmalloc, and so on)
