Setting `YAML_CPP_BUILD_TEST` to `OFF` causes issues with Threads on Windows

I have to run generate the cmake solution twice through Visual Studio.

I tried turning off building tests with,

set(YAML_CPP_BUILD_TESTS OFF CACHE BOOL "Enable testing" FORCE)

;but, cmake still needs the threads library to build yaml-cpp.

So, after the previously mentioned command I ran:

set(CMAKE_USE_WIN32_THREADS_INIT ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)

which gets picked up on the second run and allows me to finish generating. Is there a work around for this? Is this an issue in the yaml-cpp cmake?

Can you share your CMakeLists.txt or a part of it as a "Minimal Reproducible Example"?

Also I do not think that you should be setting CMAKE_USE_WIN32_THREADS_INIT explicitly as it is a result variable of find_package(Threads).

A weird (and probably unrelated) shot in the dark but, could you try this?

cmake .. -Dgtest_disable_pthreads=ON
