1 | See the README.threads in the main perl 5.004_xx development |
| 2 | distribution (x >= 50) for details of how to build and use this. | |
| 3 | If all else fails, read on. | |

| 5 | If your version of patch can't create a file from scratch, then you'll | |
| 6 | need to create an empty thread.h manually first. Perl itself will need | |
| 7 | to be built with -DUSE_THREADS yet. If you're using MIT pthreads or | |
| 8 | another threads package that needs pthread_init() to be called, then | |
| 9 | add -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT. If you're using a threads library that only | |
| 10 | follows one of the old POSIX drafts, then you'll probably need to add | |
| 11 | -DOLD_PTHREADS_API. I haven't tested -DOLD_PTHREADS_API properly yet | |
| 12 | and I think you may still have to tweak a couple of the mutex calls | |
| 13 | to follow the old API. | |
