Topic: Location of libpthread package source in SVN?

The content of this topic has been archived on 24 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I am trying to build a custom version of OpenWRT.  However, when the packages I'd like to include in the build is libpthread.  I have not been able to location the source for this package in the SVN.  Can someone post the SVN path for this package for me?

Thanks!

make package/symlinks
rm -rf tmp/
make menuconfig

What you posted isn't a path in the SVN?

I ran the make command that you suggested, but that didn't add the libpthread package?

libpthread is maintained by openwrt devel team, so it SHOULD be in the SVN.  However, I have not been able to locate it yet.  Any help would be appreciated.

Package: libpthread
Version: 0.9.28-8
Status: install user installed
Section: libs
Architecture: mipsel
maintainer: OpenWrt Developers Team <openwrt-devel@openwrt.org>
MD5Sum: 9729b903572cabbfbe02a2b9e3795eb9
Size: 19111
Filename: ./libpthread_0.9.28-8_mipsel.ipk
Source: package/base-files
Description: POSIX thread library

i've been able to select it, I think it's in the
menu-option under 'base files'
it should be called:
"POSIX thread library"

I'll look it up if you cannot find it in the menu-structure.

Yes, thank you!

I did find it exactly where you said it would be.
I still wonder where it is located in the SVN though.

=====ANSWERING MY OWN QUESTION=====

Okay I did some more searching and found out that the three dashes/hyphens (---) means that it's built in the kernel.

=======================================

I know this is old but I stumbled upon this when I was looking for the meaning of the three dashes "---".

What happens when the "POSIX thread library" under Base files is by default "---".

I mean I cannot select or deselect. What does the --- in front of it mean? Is it included or not?

It's attitude adjustment r36088

Thanks
