Believe it or not I was installing mysql on a FreeBSD 7 box for most of the day. After looking at the make options my attention was grabbed by the WITH_LINUXTHREADS parameter. After a bit of googling it seemed the I did not need linuxthreads on FreeBSD7-STABLE. So there I go and add the WITH_LINUXTHREADS=no and… the installation fails at… linuxthreads.
Well. I’ve spent lots of time googling, passed numerous make errors. Basically at the end of the day I just modified the Makefile of the mysql port to totally bypass the WITH_LINUXTHREADS and just add the standart non-linuxthread configure options.
Open the Makefile
# vi /usr/ports/databases/mysqlxx-server/Makefile
Find these lines (or similar)
.if defined(WITH_LINUXTHREADS)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-named-thread-libs='-DHAVE_GLIBC2_STYLE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=-D_THREAD_SAFE -I${LOCALBASE}/include/pthread/linuxthreads
CFLAGS+= -D__USE_UNIX98 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE
CFLAGS+= -I${LOCALBASE}/include/pthread/linuxthreads
LIB_DEPENDS+= lthread.[35]:${PORTSDIR}/devel/linuxthreads
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=-L${LOCALBASE}/lib -llthread -llgcc_r -llstdc++ -llsupc++'
Change to
.if defined(WITH_LINUXTHREADS)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-named-thread-libs=${PTHREAD_LIBS}
CFLAGS+= ${PTHREAD_CFLAGS}
Everything compiled and installed afterwards without the linuxthreads (I did not want them anyway).
you *do* realize that if you didn’t want linuxthreads, you simply don’t define it. when you put “WITH_LINUXTHREADS=no”, you define it.
Just don’t define it, and you would have been fine.

As I recall now without defining it it would still halt on linuxthreads
have the same issue here with FreeBSD 7.2, just commented parts of Makefile out
Yeah that should do the trick as well. Weird problem, though.
