If you link your program dynamically to @acronym{GPGME} and your
supported thread library, @acronym{GPGME} will automatically detect
the presence of this library and activate its use. You must link to
the thread library before linking to @acronym{GPGME}. If you link to
both pthread and GNU Pth, @acronym{GPGME} will use the pthread
support. This feature requires weak symbol support.
If you want to use @acronym{GPGME} with threads, you must link to the
right version of the library. The name of the right library is
@code{libgpgme-} followed by the name of the thread package you use.
For example, if you use GNU Pth, the right name is
@code{libgpgme-pth}. Use the Automake macros or
@command{gpgme-config} program for simplicity.
@item
If you link your program statically to @acronym{GPGME}, or your system
does not support weak symbols, there is currently no easy way to make
sure that @acronym{GPGME} detects the presence of the thread library.
This will be solved in a future version.

multiple threads call this function, the caller must make sure that
all invocations are fully synchronized. It is safe to start
asynchronous operations while a thread is running in gpgme_wait.

The function @code{gpgme_strerror} is not thread safe. You have to
use @code{gpgme_strerror_r} instead.
