Undefined reference to pthread_create in Linux

by

For Linux the correct command is:

gcc -pthread -o term term.c

In general, libraries should follow sources and objects on command line, and -lpthread is not an “option”, it’s a library specification. On a system with only libpthread.a installed,

gcc -lpthread ...

will fail to link.
