[New-bugs-announce] [issue36141] configure: error: could not find pthreads on your system during cross compilation

[muhzi]

New submission from muhzi <air.oamyst517 at yahoo.com>:

I am facing a problem while trying to compile Python for android armv7a using the latest NDK version (clang). The configure script fails to find pthread library, which should be bundled in libc. Here is the full configure output:
