Note: You can run 'make LDFLAGS=-lgthread-2.0' to force the use of gthread-2.0 at link time. It will work without having to edit files or use Ctrl-c.

Here what I found : U++ uses 'g_thread_init(NULL);' in uppsrc/CtrlCore/GtkApp.cpp (line 65).
g_thread_init(); and g_thread_supported(); are deprecated, according to https:// developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Deprecated-Thread-APIs. html#g-thread-init

There's already a work around in the source code:

#ifdef _MULTITHREADED
#if !GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2, 32, 0)
    if(!g_thread_supported())
        g_thread_init(NULL);
#endif
        gdk_threads_set_lock_functions(EnterGuiMutex, LeaveGuiMutex);
        gdk_threads_init();
        EnterGuiMutex();
#endif

So, my question is, why does it still compile those lines if your library is greater than 2.32.0?
