BUILDING THE SOURCE:
If you are using autoconf (the configure script) you can select an
implementation by using one of the following
--enable-posix
--enable-win32
--enable-win9x
By default one will be autodetected.
Otherwise, define one of the following flags to select an implementation:
ZT_POSIX, ZT_WIN32, ZT_WIN9X
ZT_POSIX should support everything
ZT_WIN32 supports windows NT, 2K, XP on 32 and 64 bit platforms.
ZT_WIN9X supports windows 9X, NT, 2K, XP on 32 bit platforms.
Define the following flag if you defined ZT_WIN32 and want to compile
a static version of the library.
ZTHREAD_STATIC
If compiling the library itself from an IDE, or with some other compiler
the autoconf scripts don't detect and use; be sure to define
ZTHREAD_EXPORTS
so that the library functions will be correctly exported from the DLL.
In the contrib directory, you will find a makefile for trolltechs make.
This can also be used to build the project on many different systems.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR COMPILATION:
Priorities, debug-mode & the I/O interrupt mechanism can all be enabled
or disabled in your compilation by making the appropriate defines. The
autoconf toold available to unix platforms make this very easy. The same
can be done for a Win32 compilation, but you will have to setup your
projects by hand to make these defines.
An m4 macro file is included to help build projects with autoconf that
use ZThreads. It defines the standard --with-zthreads-xxx= type configure
switches that you see with alot of autoconf-friendly libraries.
ERRORS ON WIN32 BUILDS:
Some of the library uses the InterlockedExchangeXXX() functions as
mentioned above. The PSDK for windows underwent many changed since VC 6
came out (which is what I was using when I first wrote that part of the
library) and part of those changes changes the signature for the
InterlockedExchangeXXX() functions. You should either update your PSDK
to a more recent version, or simply use the -DZT_WIN9X flag which will
select an implementation that isn't using those functions and will just
avoid that problem.
