- Summary: undefined label (GetGlobalStash) in Think C library
-
- Well, I checked out my problems carefully and even came up with a
- (unsuitable) workaround.
-
- "Threads.lib" in the Threads 2.0d17 archive on ftp.apple.com is missing
- a vital routine. Every time I try to link, I get (from Think C 5.0.4)
-
- undefined label: GetGlobalStash (Threads.lib)
-
- Finally, I decided to see if I could work around it and create my own
- GetGlobalStash (which just returned a null handle). It compiled and linked
- happily, but Threads just don't work. I checked references to my routine
- via ResEdit, and found that there are at least 30 references to GetGlobalStash
- coming from Threads.lib
-
- But GetGlobalStash just ain't in there. Is it part of MPW? Or did somebody
- just goof when setting up the Think C library for distribution.
-
- In either case, PLEASE mail me at peterc@cubetech.com and help me get
- this thing working. I'd REALLY like to use threads, but if the system
- doesn't work, I obviously can't use it. Is Michael Gough still around
- somewhere?
