# Threads

Meson has a very simple notational shorthand for enabling thread support on your build targets. First you obtain the thread dependency object like this:

```meson
thread_dep = dependency('threads')
```

And then you just use it in a target like this:

```meson
executable('threadedprogram', ...
  dependencies : thread_dep)
```

docs: Import the website and wiki and build with hotdoc This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with the source code as people will have to document new features etc right at the time where they implement it. 2017-03-30 02:03:43 +08:00			`# Threads`
