Package: libvw0
Version: 7.3-1.1
Severity: normal
Thanks for packaging vowpal wabbit as a binary and library.
I'd like to develop against the library, but even the simplest example, based
on the current git sources, bombs:
edd@max:~/git/vowpal_wabbit/library$ g++ -o foo library_example.cc -lallreduce
-lvw
/tmp/ccBTtHbR.o: In function `main':
library_example.cc:(.text+0x630): undefined reference to `VW::finish(vw&, bool)'
library_example.cc:(.text+0x944): undefined reference to `VW::finish(vw&, bool)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
edd@max:~/git/vowpal_wabbit/library$ COLUMNS=80 dpkg -l | grep libvw
ii libvw-dev 7.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 fast and scalable online machine
ii libvw0 7.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 fast and scalable online machine
edd@max:~/git/vowpal_wabbit/library$
Note that I am trying to link against the library from your 7.3-1 package here.
Could you update the package? I think upstream is now at 7.7 based on
configure.ac.
Dirk

Version: 8.1.1-1
I even uploaded 8.5.0 now
package is not that stale any longer, although still in suboptimal shape
since requires to do something about tests failing on non amd64 #836450
https://github.com/JohnLangford/vowpal_wabbit/issues/1410
any help would be appreciated
