Undefined Reference to `pthread_init' When Using -lpthread Flag:

Question

I'm compiling using:

gcc -o outfile infile.c -lpthread

and the only undefined reference is pthread_init.

I have tried using -pthread instead of -lpthread, as per some suggestions online.

I am including <pthread.h>

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Don't call pthread_init(). It's not necessary on Linux.
