30 # The two flags "-fpic -DPIC" are used to indicate a

32 # -DPIC is not used by perl proper) but the full define is included to
33 # be consistent with the FreeBSD general shared libs building process.

192 I did not know that FreeBSD $osvers supports POSIX threads.
194 Feel free to tell perlbug@perl.org otherwise.
201 POSIX threads are not supported well by FreeBSD $osvers.
203 Please consider upgrading to at least FreeBSD 2.2.8,
204 or preferably to the most recent -RELEASE or -STABLE
205 version (see http://www.freebsd.org/releases/).
207 (While 2.2.7 does have pthreads, it has some problems
208 with the combination of threads and pipes and therefore
209 many Perl tests will either hang or fail.)
215 if [ ! -r "$lc_r" ]; then
217 POSIX threads should be supported by FreeBSD $osvers --
218 but your system is missing the shared libc_r.
219 (/sbin/ldconfig -r doesn't find any).
221 Consider using the latest STABLE release.
