Multiplatform autotools; all OK on Linux, warning on Windows

[Joost Kraaijeveld]

Hi,

I am not really sure that this a question for this list but maybe there
is a kind sole that has the answer over here


I have a Autools based project that I *really* want to compile both on
Linux and Windows using gcc (mingw on Windows) using Autotools.

I get these warnings:

*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lpthread.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in
when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
*** with libpthread and none of the candidates passed a file format test
*** using a file magic. Last file
checked: 
/home/jkr/src/mingw-cross-env-2.10/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.4.0/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/lib//libpthread.a
*** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be
*** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library
*** or is declared to -dlopen it.

*** Since this library must not contain undefined symbols,
*** because either the platform does not support them or
*** it was explicitly requested with -no-undefined,
*** libtool will only create a static version of it.


Are these warning something I should/can fix? What is it they are trying
to tell me? If they are fixable, how?

TIA
