How To Install compat-libpthread-nonshared on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install compat-libpthread-nonshared on CentOS 8.
What is compat-libpthread-nonshared
This package provides compatibility support for applications that expect libpthread_nonshared.a to exist. The support provided is in the form of an empty libpthread_nonshared.a that allows dynamic links to succeed. Such applications should be adjusted to avoid linking against libpthread_nonshared.a which is no longer used. The static library libpthread_nonshared.a is an internal implementation detail of the C runtime and should not be expected to exist.
