The release tarball of check 0.15.2 lacks a source file, causing a
build failure, as reported at
https://github.com/libcheck/check/issues/303. This failures happens
when thread support is not available, as the file missing is getting
compiled in when thread support is not there:
if(NOT HAVE_PTHREAD)
target_sources(check PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../lib/pthread_mutex.c)
target_sources(checkShared PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../lib/pthread_mutex.c)
endif()
This issue started appearing when we moved from the autotools build
system to the CMake build system in commit
6dfc789f4f. One might wonder why
changing the build system can cause this kind of issue: the file was
in fact already missing. Turns out that the missing file is never used
with the autotools build system: this file provides some Win32
compatibility layer for pthread functions, so the autotools build
system never compiled this file as the autotools build system was only
used on Unix platforms. With CMake it now gets compiled to support
Windows platform. But on Linux, the entire contents of the file is
ignored as it is within a HAVE_WIN32_INIT_ONCE ifdef...endif. Still,
with the file missing, the build fails.
Until upstream publishes a new release with a complete tarball, switch
to fetching the Github-generated tarball, which does contain the
missing file.
