Linux Ubuntu multithreading

[Louis M]

Hi!
I run on Linux Ubuntu and I want to create an OS independent multithreading application. I create this little test application:

class
        APPLICATION
create
        make
feature -- Initialization
        make is
                do
                        print("Is thread capable: "+{PLATFORM}.is_thread_capable.out +"%N")
                end
end -- class APPLICATION

I put the multithreaded setting to true in the project setting. When I run this application, it tell me: "Is thread capable: False". But I created a lot of multithreadeing application in other languages (java, python, c++, etc.) in my Ubuntu box. So it is thread capable.

1- Is there anyone who successfully create multithreading application on Linux with Eiffel
2- What do you think I must do?

thanks a lot!

Yes.

The issue is that by default you are using the monothreaded precompiled library of
EiffelBase. So to make your application multithreaded you can either:
- choose the multithreaded precompiled library (base-mt) and recompile from
scratch
- remove the usage of the precompiled library

Hope this helps,
Manu
