Adding support for threaded applications natively http://developer.cisco.com/c/message_boards/find_category?p_l_id=103523&mbCategoryId=0 2013-05-23T01:17:14Z 2013-05-23T01:17:14Z Steve D Perkins http://developer.cisco.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=103523&messageId=1529642 2009-08-07T05:05:29Z 2009-08-07T05:05:29Z

Quick question - is CIFS mounting support compiled in to the AXP kernel?  I think I'd need to enable the capability to use mount.cifs using the capabilities file, but the samba documentation also says the kernel needs to support cifs mounting.  So just checking to see if it does before I jump though the hoops to try and get mount.cifs to work.   Thanks!

Hello!   I have been able to get various threaded applications to run on the AXP.  For example, I have the entire LAMP stack (AXP Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) working.  It's really neat, and I have to congratulate the AXP team on making such a fabulous product.   [b]My only suggestion would be to upgrade the AXP to be able to support threads natively.[/b]  Currently to get a threaded application to work I have to copy over all the libraries from the development system and also invoke the executable via the threaded version of ld-linux.so.2.  It works, but it requires quite a bit of bookkeeping and testing.  There have also been a number of interesting gotchas.  For example, PHP requires threading, but many of its internal calls actually call regular Linux programs like 'mv' or 'stat'.  Since those programs are part of the AXP, I had to juggle the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable inside the PHP scripts to ensure the proper set of libraries were being used.   Therefore, I'd like to propose upgrading the AXP Linux platform to a more modern version of Linux that includes the modern threading libraries.  Many of the most popular applications require threading to some degree or another, and upgrading the kernel would help support many more applications on the AXP.   Thanks, Keith Perkins AvFinity, LLC
