Hello,
I am using wine-20040309 on my rehat 9 machine.
When I use wine in the default redhat 9 kernel 2.4.20-8, i see that the wineserver and wine-pthread binaries are running. Whereas when i use the vannila kernel 2.4.20, wineserver and wine-kthread binaries are running.
Can anyone explain the reason behind this behavious of wine.
You help would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Balas

Redhat's kernel support the Native Posix Threads Library (NPTL), and the vanilla kernel does not. Wine uses wine-pthreads if NPTL is available, and wine-kthreads if not.

You have to run either latest snapshot or (preferably) Wine compiled from CVS in order to get any help.

It's Posix threads versus the older Linux threading. Redhat backported Posix threads to their 2.4 kernels, which is why wine-pthread is used for the Redhat kernel. 2.6 kernels also use wine-pthread. Non-redhat 2.4 and earlier kernels will use wine-kthread.
