Hi, I'm afraid I don't know the equivalent of pthread_join under IRIX.  That
said, I don't know of any plans to support software update for IRIX, so I would
assume that building Firefox with --disable-updater would be prudent.  This is
probably WONTFIX unless someone cares about porting the software update system
to IRIX, or maybe we should at least automatically disable updater on systems
where we don't support it.

IRIX 6.5 has a pthread library, so it must have pthread_join.
Perhaps you just need to add -lpthread to the linker command
line, or pass the -pthread or -pthreads flag to the compiler
if you use the compiler to link.

i used --disable-updater so far and as long as the app compiles it's okay.
the latter sounds good anyway.

saw the same problem added -lpthread and it compiled

[g. fischer]

thanks but the updater is useless on irix anyway.

btw did you happen to try a cvs build lately? maybe ran into this #329463?

thanks anyway

seems to work now with a current checkout.
