Re: [ptxdist] how to configure perl scripting to compile with thread support?

[Martin Hollingsworth <Martin.Hollingsworth@itk-engineering.de>]

Here some more info I found in the meantime.
You can call "perl -V" which gives a lot of information about the build settings.
The target system outputs:
---------
[...]
  Platform:
    osname=linux, osvers=current, archname=arm-linux
    uname='arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf'
    config_args='-Dusethreads -A ldflags=-pthread --prefix=/usr --host=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf --build=i686-host-linux-gnu --host=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf --target=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf --set-ld=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --keeplog --mode=target --target=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf --targetarch=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf'
[...]
    useithreads=undef, usemultiplicity=undef
[...]
---------

As one can see from config_args the flag -Dusethreads is received, but the Perl internal flag "useithreads" stays undef. On my host this value is "defined" and threading works.
When you look into the config.sh file  (Shortened path: /BSP/phyCORE-AM335x-XXX/platform-XXX/build-target/perl-5.14.2/config.sh) which is generated by perl itself during the ptxdist build process, you will find this particular flag undef here as well.
I suppose this is the root of all evil - the perl config.sh file is not generated correctly. The question now is why...?

Greetings, 
Martin
