Bug#471195: libglibmm-2.4-dev: Problem compiling programs with glibmm: undefined reference to 'g_thread_init'

[Andre Offringa]

Package: libglibmm-2.4-dev
Version: 2.14.2-4
Severity: normal

When compiling programs that use glibmm using the libraries specified by pkg-config:
/usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/thread.h:784: undefined reference to `g_thread_init'
Indirectly caused by:
if(!Glib::thread_supported()) Glib::thread_init();

The libraries which have been linked against were determined with `pkg-config glibmm-2.4 --libs`:
-lglibmm-2.4 -lgobject-2.0 -lsigc-2.0 -lglib-2.0

but maybe should include libraries required for gthread-2.0 ?
pkg-config gthread-2.0 --libs
-pthread -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0

Especially since linking against "gthread" instead of "gthread-2.0" causes applications to malfunction. Actually, I am still unsure which libraries to link against... So making this easier would be a good thing.
