Test framework does not run under ubuntu-gcc4.8 (their bug)

[Bart Bogaerts]

On a fresh ubuntu install, after configuring everything. I get an error

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'

what(): Enable multithreading to use std::thread: Operation not permitted

Aborted (core dumped)

This error seams to come from a lack of the option -lpthread for the compiler. However, cmakefiles seem to be adding this option.

I tried to add it manually with -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=" -lpthread " but that did not work either.

Further info: Cmake warned me (but did not give an error)

-- Looking for include file pthread.h -- Looking for include file pthread.h - not found -- Could NOT find Threads (missing: Threads_FOUND)

Might have something to do with my specific cmake version: see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16909008/cmake-error-try-compile-pthreads-of-type-executable

Excuses, ik kende de bug al, maar dacht dat er niet meteen iemand anders op gcc 4.8 ging beginnen werken (dus had hem nog niet gefiled). Dit is een gekende bug in ubuntu / gcc 4.8, dus wachten op hun fix.

Meer gedetailleerd: er is een optimalisatie toegevoegd/aangepast die libraries niet linkt als de compiler/ubuntu denkt dat ze niet nodig zijn, zelfs als ze in de linker flags staan. Die detectie is dus verkeerd :)

Does not seem to be getting fixed anytime soon.
