Description Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2010-10-15 13:20:24 UTC
cairo assumes that pthreads are not available, then it fails to build:


./configure  --prefix=/opt/X11 --disable-static --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-nls --cache-file=/tmp/X11libs.roots/X11libs~obj/configure.cache --x-include=$X11_PREFIX/include --x-lib=$X11_PREFIX/lib --disable-quartz --enable-xlib --enable-xlib-xrender --enable-xcb --disable-specs --disable-devel-docs 
...

config.log shows that the conftest.c tests succeeded, but you still chose to

Passing --enable-pthread to force it on fails:

configure: error: pthread requested but not found

Comment 1 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2010-10-15 13:29:33 UTC
I believe the problem is this hunk in CAIRO_CC_TRY_LINK_WITH_ENV_SILENT in build/aclocal.cairo.m4 
        if test "x$cairo_cc_stderr" != "x"; then
                cairo_cc_flag=no
        fi
Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2010-10-15 13:39:45 UTC
Yep.  A simple bypass of that check gets us building right:
gsed -i 's:test "x$cairo_cc_stderr" != "x":false:' configures

What's the reasoning behind checking stderr?  Perhaps there is a better way to achieve those ends...

Comment 4 David Stone 2011-04-20 11:47:35 UTC
I just want to say that this bug makes it impossible to build on osx with 10.4u SDK because ld always gives a warning about an object compiled with -mlong-branch which is no longer needed. Configure really needs to ignore these warnings. Editing configure as mentioned fixes the problem.
Comment 5 Bryce Harrington 2014-07-09 00:28:01 UTC
I attempted to repro the problem on ubuntu 14.04, with these steps:


sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tmp
sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tmp/

./configure --disable-static --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-nls --disable-quartz --enable-xlib --enable-xlib-xrender --enable-xcb --disable-specs --disable-devel-docs --disable-pthread

Yet this results in a successful config (I didn't try to build it).  If I change to --enable-pthread, it fails to build (obviously), but then:

sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tmp/* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
sudo rmdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tmp

./configure --disable-static --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-nls --disable-quartz --enable-xlib --enable-xlib-xrender --enable-xcb --disable-specs --disable-devel-docs --disable-pthread

Is this still an issue on OSX?  If so, anyone want to propose a patch?
Comment 6 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2014-07-15 04:12:40 UTC
Yes, it is still an issue.  We just disable the buggy '"x$cairo_cc_stderr" != "x"' logic, but that's not really a portable solution for you:

Occurs when -Wl,--build-id is in LDFLAGS.
