Bug 435155

SUMMARY
Heaptrack 1.2.0 fails to build when using a static version of libunwind 1.5.0

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. A clean source build of libunwind 1.5.0 prefixed to /heaptrack/build (with the configure options of "--disable-shared --enable-static --disable-coredump --disable-documentation --prefix=/heaptrack/build")
2. curl -L -O https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack/archive/v1.2.0.tar.gz && tar -xzf v1.2.0.tar.gz && cd heaptrack-1.2.0 &&   mkdir build && cd build
3.  PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/heaptrack/build/lib/pkgconfig" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DHEAPTRACK_BUILD_PRINT=OFF -DHEAPTRACK_BUILD_GUI=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/heaptrack/build ..
4. make && make install


OBSERVED RESULT
Cmake fails with the cryptic "libunwind is missing" error:

-- The following REQUIRED packages have not been found:

 * Libunwind

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FeatureSummary.cmake:430 (message):
  feature_summary() Error: REQUIRED package(s) are missing, aborting CMake
  run.

The following errors appears in the config output:

EXPECTED RESULT
A successful heaptrack build

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Apparently the cmake module FindLibunwind fails to find liblzma on its own, which is all the more puzzling given the fact that pkg-config finds it without any problems whatsoever:
[root@1fb759bd1336 build]# pkg-config --libs liblzma
-llzma
[root@1fb759bd1336 build]#

My solution to the problem was to simply "substitute in" the name of the library into the flags for the CHECK_C_SOURCE_COMPILES macro via sed:
sed -i "s/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES \${LIBUNWIND_LIBRARY}/CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES \${LIBUNWIND_LIBRARY} lzma/" cmake/FindLibunwind.cmake

After that the compilation went through fine without any problems whatsoever
