Bug 253742 – dev-libs/xerces-c-3.0.0-r1 - ThreadTest.cpp:(.text+0x21cc): undefined reference to `pthread_create'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

When I emerge xerces-c, it fails its test suite because it fails to *build* it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. FEATURES="test" emerge -1 xerces-c


Actual Results:  
make check failed

Compiling src/ThreadTest/ThreadTest.cpp
i486-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -Wl,-O1 -o .libs/ThreadTest src/ThreadTest/ThreadTest.o  ../src/.libs/libxerces-c.so -lnsl
src/ThreadTest/ThreadTest.o: In function `ThreadFuncs::startThread(void (*)(void*), void*)':
ThreadTest.cpp:(.text+0x21cc): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [ThreadTest] Error 1
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1


Expected Results:  
Test suite built and hopefully run successfully, so it can be merged to the system.

Appending -pthread to the link command line shown the actual results section fixes the issue. However, I do not know to apply the fix in Makefile.{am,in} .

Upstream seems to have it fixed for version 3.0.1.
