Bug Description

System: Ubuntu 11.10
Package: libgtest-dev
Version: 1.6.1-0

Problem:

The file /usr/share/doc/libgtest-dev/examples/make/Makefile (when installed) supplies an argument of -lpthread to g++ for linking sample1_unittest, which does not link on Ubuntu 11.10.

The documentation for pthreads suggests it should be -pthread and this does indeed link and run.

Solution:
Change -lpthread to -pthread
