A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

This library provides basic POSIX Pthreads support for OS/2.

This software is distributed in two modes:

as compressed package that you have to download and manually install; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too;
as RPM package; you can install it using your favorite rpm package manager, that will take care to download and install both the software and its prerequisites.

Choose the installation mode that you prefer. Please note that not all the versions are available in both the installation modes.

Installation with rpm

This program is installable using the rpm package manager. See below for the install string. Required prerequisites are automatically processed by the package manager and, if needed, downloaded and installed.

POSIX Pthreads v. 0.04 (19/1/1999)	Readme/What's new	POSIX PTHREADS for OS/2 EMX rel 4 -- Antony T Curtis - 10 Dec 1998 =========================================================== This library provides basic Pthreads support for EMX. Of course, there are some limitations which will need to be addressed to properly implement Pthreads, but hopefully, enough is implemented to get basic programs which use of Pthreads to work. This implementation of Pthreads is based upon the sources of the FreeBSD 2.2.5 libraries. Features: o Allows inter-thread signals via pthread_kill() o Allows signals to break (some) I/O calls. Other Features: o Partial implemention of dynamic library support Limitations: o Not fully tested. Implementation notes: o Changed the location of the library files...
