Hello

Having helped a friend over IRC getting pkgsrc to work a bit better on
OSF1 tonight, I thought I could share the findings.

We used the Compaq c compiler, ccc.

Compiling programs which do not use pthreads works "ok", I guess. The
pthread using programs did not work at all. After some digging around
we found that the reason audio/xmms failed to configure properly was
that the -pthread flag was missing when the pre-processor was used to
test the pthread.h file. Right now the fix on his machine is:

CPPFLAGS+=-pthread

in /etc/mk.conf.

But I think a variant of this fix is this patch on pthread.builtin.mk:

Index: pthread.builtin.mk

Perhaps some more OSF1-user can verify? Without the addition of
-pthread to CPPFLAGS the configure script of pthread using programs
will bomb because code including pthread.h can not be run through
the pre-processor.

libao lacks an output plugin for OSF1. Have not looked at this any
closer. He is trying libao-esound right now but it is unclear if esound
will be able to make any sound in the speakers.
