Trouble compiling Kiba-Dock rev 602 in Slackware 12.1

Slacker Steve · 11-28-2008, 01:29 AM

Hi, I want to compile Kiba Dock rev 602 because it was the last release to implement the akamaru physics engine. Akamaru compiled fine, but I'm having trouble compiling kiba dock itself:

Code:

/home/slacker/trunk/kiba-dock/src/startup-notification.c:109: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [kiba-dock] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/slacker/trunk/kiba-dock/src'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/slacker/trunk/kiba-dock/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/slacker/trunk/kiba-dock'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas?
Thanks

Edit:
Or if anybody can recommend me another dock, that'd be great

pthread_create is part of glibc. Make sure you have installed the package glibc-2.7-i486-10.tgz. If you have it installed the app should compile. If it does not, it may be a bug in the build system for the program. AFAIK, you only need to pass -pthread to gcc when compiling POSIX threads code, and the build system may not be doing it.

Thanks for the reply
I seem to have glibc-2.7-i486-10.tgz installed, along with all the other listed build dependencies in the Kiba wiki. But I'm still getting that error.

Can someone recommend me a good dock for Slackware/KDE?

Update:
I managed to get kiba dock working. I had made some debian packages for it a while back, so I just extracted them and used the contents to make slackpackages
