Build errors on linux

[jwillb]

Hi. I have recently wanted to start developing applications for my Kinect, so I cloned this library and tried to follow the buiid instructions. cmake -L .. runs without a hitch, and creates a Makefile. It says I have all of the required libraries (including glut) and lists the options. Then, I run make. This does not work as intended and it appears as though the library is not properly linked.

Since this was just an error with the glview example program, I tried running cmake .. -BUILD_EXAMPLES:OFF and got this error message instead (I removed the CMakeCache File):

It appears that threads is now somehow missing. Any ideas? (I am running a GeForce GTX 10603GB, with an Intel i7-8700 on Artix Linux. I suspect this could be a problem with the distro because I have successfully used this library on another distro on the same hardware.) Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Turns out, uninstalling pkgconfig (pkgconf is the package name on Artix Linux at least) fixes the problem. However, I'll leave this issue open as this does not seem like a scalable solution for everyone.

[prayujt]

Anyone fixed this issue yet? Uninstalling pkgconfig didn't make any difference for me, and I'm having the same error listed above.

Likely fixed by #663
