Baruch Siach 37bf5c6fcb arpd: remove pthread dependency
Explicit link with pthread is not needed when linking dynamically. Even
static link with recent libdb does not pull in the code that uses
pthread. Finally, the configure check introduced in commit a25df4887d
(configure: Check for Berkeley DB for arpd compilation) does not add
-lpthread to its link command.

This change allows arpd build with toolchains that do not provide
threads support.

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

Download:

Stable version repository:

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
