[gecode-users] Gecode version with ANDROID NDK ?

[Guido Tack]

Great, thanks for the patch!  I added it to the svn trunk and also made thread support configurable (with the --disable-thread switch).

Cheers,
Guido

But of course if you manage to create a patch that would make Gecode work with the NDK, that would be very welcome and we may include it in the main distribution.

Currently configure just checks for the presence of pthread.h, but if you simply remove the call to AC_GECODE_THREADS from configure.ac and run autoconf, configure, make, this might work.  Please let me know, if this solves the problem I'll add a configure switch to disable thread support entirely.
