[LI] Threads

["Shourya Sarcar" <sarcar@xxxxxxxx>]

For all those who use pthreads instead of clone,
does gcc compilation for pthread need and extra library ??
This does not work with me ..

<snip-->
#include <pthread.h>
void * thr(void * x)
{
    printf("Thread\n");
}

int main()
{
    pthread_t t;
    pthread_create (&t,NULL,thr,NULL);
    while (1) {
        printf("Main\n");
    }
}

<--snip>

The error is a linker error : collect2 :ld returned exit status 1
Apparently it cannot find reference to pthread_create()

thanks in Advance
