[Check-devel] cannot find -lsubunit

[Billy J. <bil...@gm...>]

Hello, I'm Billy

So, yesterday I tried make test and it worked fine. But today, i got the
message

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsubunit
collect2: error : ld returned 1 exit status
make : *** [Makefile:23: check_arraypos_tests] Error 1

I tried removing the -lsubunit in the MakeFile, but it looks like it is
needed, because I got another type of error.

Is there any way to resolve this problem?
Thank You.

Hi,

Subunit is a streaming protocol for test results.
https://github.com/testing-cabal/subunit
It is not a required dependency, only optional.

When you are compiling Check, the build system (CMake or GNU Autotools)
automatically detects if your system has libsubunit installed and either
includes it in the build or leaves it out.

As a quick fix, you can rebuild libcheck.

Are you using CMake or Autotools (commands  autoreconf and ./configure)?
