Hello, I have nptl and nptlonly set in my make.conf file. I thought that was the best setting for threading.
Now, I want to install the Chromium web browser. It is asking me to the set the +threads flag for ffmpeg, before www-client/chromium can be installed. OK no problem on a per package basis. But, this has made me think. Is setting nptl and nptl globally (in make.conf) the best idea? Should the threads flag also be set globally, or just on a per package basis? Maybe nptl and threads and not set nptlonly? I thought nptl and nptl was the end of the requirements, but running this command: euse -i threads Here is a curious response; ffmpeg does not get listed (as it is not built with the threads flag)? euse -I threads I see lots of packages where the flag "threads" is being used including ffmpeg. Some discussion and guidance as to how best to set the flags [nptl, nptlonly and threads] (any others related to threading) would be appreciated. James
