--- Comment #3 from Johannes Meixner 2010-08-27 12:36:11 UTC ---
I asked on the sane-devel mailing list regarding
"pros and cons regarding --enable-pthread for Linux"
and the answer was:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pthread is the default on other platforms because they generally don't
let open usb device handles pass across a fork(). Since this works on
Linux, and threads were so flaky all those years ago, non-threaded
became the default for Linux. Honestly, I think it could be changed,
but I don't think pthread is as well tested, since most user's use
whatever their distro compiles :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently it is unknown what possible bad sife effects "--enable-pthread"
could have and the above comment does not look very promising.
From my point of view general reliability for all other models
is much more important than one single more supported model.
Therefore I will not use "--enable-pthread", at least not for now.
Instead I will remove the mustek_usb2.desc file to avoid
that the YaST scanner setup module lists this model.
