I wouldn't normally expect pthread to be listed in "libs" if the .so has a NEEDED pointing at libpthread as ld.so would normally resolve that itself at runtime. > But lmdb's .pc file definitely doesn't match that LMDB links against > pthreads these days: > > https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/databases/lmdb/files/lmdb.pc.in?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup I think pkgconfig --libs would normally just be expected to list the linker options needed when linking against the shared library. > Excerpt from linker error: > > ld: error: undefined symbol: pthread_mutexattr_init > > referenced by sqlite3.c:29857 > > sqlite3.o:(pthreadMutexAlloc) in archive /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.a Here you're linking the static library, so you need to tell pkg-config that's what you're doing: $ pkg-config --libs sqlite3 -L/usr/local/lib -lsqlite3 $ pkg-config --static --libs sqlite3 -L/usr/local/lib -lsqlite3 -lz -lm -lpthread I don't think there's a problem with the sqlite port, but it looks like -lpthread is indeed missing from lmdb's libs.private.
