Summary: Thread-Support don't work with HP-UX 11

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I've compiled Python 2.1.2 with the HP Ansi C-Compiler.
I've used ./configure --with-threads 
and added -D_REENTRANT to the Makefile. But the 
test_thread.py don't work!

[ek14] % ../../python test_thread.py
creating task 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_thread.py", line 46, in ?
    newtask()
  File "test_thread.py", line 41, in newtask
    thread.start_new_thread(task, (next_ident,))
thread.error: can't start new thread

[ek14] %

Any idea?
More informations?

Thanks
Stefan Walder

Hm. I'm not sure, either - but this could probably get 
an entry on the bugs page on creosote. Anyone? Is there a
"known issues" page somewhere?

Hi,

I've found a solution.
I've added a -D_REENTRANT to the CFLAGS and an 
-lpthread to the LIBS:

OPT=            -O -D_REENTRANT
DEFS=           -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
CFLAGS=         $(OPT) -I. -I$(srcdir)/Include $(DEFS)

LIBS=           -lnsl -ldld
LIBM=           -lm -lpthread
LIBC=
SYSLIBS=        $(LIBM) $(LIBC)

Now it works for me. But I don't have any idea to put this 
changes into the configure script.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a HP/UX system, and I
couldn't find anyone during the process of doing 2.1.2 that
was willing to spend the time figuring out how and why 2.2's
threading finally started working on HP/UX. 

Without someone to do that, I'd say the chances of this ever
being addressed are close to zero. Does it work on 2.2?
