build: Correctly link to gthread (1.22 KB, patch)
2012-01-06 14:25 UTC, Vincent Untz 		none Details | Review

Description Vincent Untz 2012-01-06 14:25:40 UTC 
Due to changes in pkg-config files in recent versions of glib/gtk+, gthread-2.0 is not brought in through pkg-config anymore. And it turns out that the way it's included in the build system for gparted is wrong. This results in:

/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: Dialog_Progress.o: undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1'
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: note: 'pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1' is defined in DSO /lib/libpthread.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib/libpthread.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

Here's a patch to fix this.

Thank you Vincent for discovering this problem and especially for providing a patch.

I have tested your patch successfully on Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, Fedora 13, and 16 (GParted configures, compiles, and runs).

Your patch has been applied to the GNOME git repository for inclusion in the next release of GParted.
