  <h2>
   SYNOPSIS
  </h2>
  <p class="indent" style="white-space:nowrap;">
   <code>ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])</code>
  </p>
  <h2>
   DESCRIPTION
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads. It sets
    the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and linker flags,
    and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special C compiler flags that
    are needed. (The user can also force certain compiler flags/libs to be
    tested by setting these environment variables.)
   </p>
   <p>
    Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
    multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise). (This is
    necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
   </p>
   <p>
    NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these flags,
    but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link with $PTHREAD_CC
    $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS
   </p>
   <p>
    If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use these
    variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
   </p>
   <pre>
       LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
       CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
       CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
</pre>
   <p>
    In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute constant has a
    nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to that name (e.g.
    PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
   </p>
   <p>
    ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads library is
    found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to run it if it is not
    found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the default action will define
    HAVE_PTHREAD.
   </p>
   <p>
    Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or if you
    have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based on work by SGJ
    on autoconf scripts for FFTW (<a href=
    "http://www.fftw.org/">http://www.fftw.org/</a>) (with help from M. Frigo),
    as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread macros posted by Alejandro Forero
    Cuervo to the autoconf macro repository. We are also grateful for the
    helpful feedback of numerous users.
