pthread support in newlib for powerpc-eabi cross GCC

[Jeffi Edward.J]

Hi all,

I build cross tool chain for powerpc-eabi platform with newlib.
When i compiled a POSIX thread program, gcc issues error. In few pages I could see that current newlib doesnt have support of pthread for powerpc-eabi platform.
Is there any other way to add pthread support for GCC with newlib?
Sorry if this is not the correct forum to post this query.

Thanks,
Jeffi

Correct.

pthread support is non-trivial. In general, it requires an OSes/kernel
or similar underneath of GCC and newlib.
