Solved Building Exim with -lpthread

[Active8]

While still struggling with this problem in other thread https://forum.directadmin.com/threa...-missing-from-command-line.67003/#post-352815 I get some help from the Almalinux community

I don't think that's related to the OS migration specifically, but... do your build options contain -lpthread? If not, try adding it.

So there is something changed in the Makefile of Exim apparently , later I have found this in DA wiki

If you need to customize the Makefile, type:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild mkdir -p custom/exim/ wget -O custom/exim/Makefile http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild/Makefile

Edit the custom/exim/Makefile , and use #1, above, to compile it.

I have take an look at the Mafifile file but have totally no clue how to build this with -lpthread option
Can someone help me with this ?
Also an question for the @DirectAdmin Support : is there any changes made with the Makefile for exim 4.96 ?

"libpthread" is part of glibc

https://almalinux.pkgs.org/8/almalinux-baseos-x86_64/glibc-devel-2.28-189.1.el8.x86_64.rpm.html

maybe it broken on upgrading centos8 > Almalinux
trying install glibc-devel

yum install glibc-devel

Hi @jamgames2 thank you for your fast reply,
glibc-devel was installed on Centos 7 already but like you said maybe with the upgrade AL 8 dont update it while upgrading
I will test this with my next attempt with this server

Ok after several months and this problem is solved by this : https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/directadmin-v1-656-rc.69439/post-367775
Just remove the old librarys that came with old build from DA
