Cannot compile Zthread library?

Question

I am following "Thinking in c++" book, the last chapter is about "Concurrency", it needs Zthread Library from http://zthread.sourceforge.net, I tried to compile the library using: ./configure --prefix=MYDIR && make install .

MYDIR does not changed by anyway and the "make install" produced a lot of errors ???

Answer 1

You can add CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -fpermissive" to the ./configure file to instruct the compiler to permit the deprecated syntax.
