I'm building with: $ gcc --version gcc (Debian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2 What's there now works for me: LDFLAGS := $(LDFLAGS) -lpthread -lrt What you propose also works for me: LDFLAGS := $(LDFLAGS) -pthread -lrt I notice that most other test cases list -lrt first, including timers: LDFLAGS += -lrt -lpthread Which works for me for timers - does that work for you? I assume so. It also works for futexes for me. I've found references out there suggesting -lrt should always come before -lpthread. I suspect you are correct as -pthread provides flags for both the preprocessor and the linker, however, I'm still concerned about the ordering. John - did you deliberately choose to use "-lrt -lpthread" ? If ordering matters and -pthread is preferred over -lpthread, then perhaps the "right way" is: LDFLAGS += -lrt -pthread Since -pthread also impacts the pre-processor, it seems that if used, it should be present in both LDFLAGS as well as CFLAGS. However, I've also read that -pthread is a non-standard compiler option and is best avoided. If so, and if the reversed order works for you, "-lrt -lpthread", perhaps that would be the "right fix". I'd like to answer this once and for all for all tests we add to selftest. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
