-dnl
-dnl @summary figure out how to build C programs using POSIX threads
-dnl
-dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads.
-dnl It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and
-dnl linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special
-dnl C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain
-dnl compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment
-dnl variables.)
-dnl
-dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
-dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
-dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
-dnl
-dnl NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these
-dnl flags, but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link
-dnl with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS
-dnl $LIBS
-dnl
-dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use
-dnl these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
-dnl
-dnl        LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
-dnl        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
-dnl        CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
-dnl
-dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
-dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to
-dnl that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
-dnl
-dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
-dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to
-dnl run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the
-dnl default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
-dnl
-dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or
-dnl if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based
-dnl on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org) (with
-dnl help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros
-dnl posted by Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository.
-dnl We are also grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
