Determine and link against threading implementation #72

Closed msbit closed 3 years ago

msbit commented 3 years ago

Linux needs pthread to be linked in, so add a dependency on the CMake Threads package to bring it in

msbit commented 3 years ago

The Threads package detects the threading implementation, so it works on all platforms, using the appropriate build arguments (seemingly none on win32 and macos).

Oh wow, so this is provided by CMake. CMake was a bit of a brain bender at the start but the more I use it the more I like it.

Yeah, if you have a nice package for detection, like Threads in this case, it's brilliant. It can be a bit more frustrating if you're trying to do something outside of that, but I could probably learn how to write custom CMake packages and solve that problem :)
