Linking and Using pthread in Linux Ubuntu

Development Programming & Scripting C++
1

Hey guys,

I’m new to UE programming, and I want to some third party codes into my plugin. I have the source code and the static library file (.a) of the third party library. I have tested at somewhere else that the “.a” lib cannot be used without pthread.

If using cmake, it is very easy to add


find_package(Threads REQUIRED)

and link the


${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT}

But I don’t know if I can do that in UE using it’s unreal build system. Is there a way to use pthread in UE? Please help!!! Thank you very much!

I’ve got the same problem. Under Windows one can just modfy the VC project file and add a library but not sure how that works under Linux. Also the /Source directory has no CMakeLists.txt.
In particular I have a machine learning library which I need to add. Can be static or dynamic. Any help very much appreciated.
