Libevent使用Openwrt Toolchain编译结果缺少libevent_pthreads.so

经查,原因是libevent在configure时找不到pthread库,而在OpenWRT的SDK下编译是可以找到的,使用-pthread参数。

$./configure -host=mipsel-openwrt-linux |grep pthread

config.status: creating libevent_pthreads.pc

原因如下:

$cat config.log

添加-ldl标志就可以了,如下

$CFLAGS=-ldl ./configure -host=mipsel-openwrt-linux |grep pthread

configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet

config.status: creating libevent_pthreads.pc

现在make就可以编译出libevent_pthreads库了

后记:
因一个应用需要libevent_pthreads.so,而PandoraBox的下载站点上没有找到,而只有libevent.so。于是使用PandoraBox提供的toolchain对libevent的源码进行编译,然后发现也没有libevent_pthreads.so,原因就是上面说的。
