problem using libsoup and libpthread in same app.

["Sagaert Johan" <sagaert johan skynet be>]

Hi

 

Usage context : uclibc 0.9.33 , crosscompiled for arm EABI gcc 4.5.3

 

i have a problem when using libsoup in an apllication that also uses the standard pthreads.

 

I have created a small app. in order to try to isolate the problem:

 

I just have no explanation why ths happens, i  have already spent days on it and ended up in the libglib2 source in g_socket_factory_create_connection.

 

I need libpthread since my app already uses this and i just needed to add some functionality that required libsoup.and ended up in a nightmare.

 

scenario 1

=========

libpthread not added to the list of libs to link wiith.

When i call my function from the main thread -> it works

When i call my function from a gthread -> it works

 

 

scenario 2

========

Now i added libpthread to the list of used libs for the linker

(i just added the libpthread and did not use any of its functions in my small test program.)

 

When i call my function from the main thread -> it works

When i call my function from a gthread -> FAIL

 

Here is the output of both scenarios:

 

 

scenario 1 OK
