Package: libsquish-dev Version: 1.15-3+b2 Severity: seriousBuilding against libsquish-dev is more or less impossible as the pkg-config file is broken: ✗ cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libsquish.pc git:(master|✚2…1 prefix= exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu sharedlibdir=${libdir} includedir=${prefix}/include
Oh dear. That's not good. libsquish.pc.in has prefix=@PREFIX@in it which is clearly intended to get set during the build, but clearly it isn't.
This is almost certainly my fault for this unnecessarily complicated implementaiton and not noticing that it wasn't actually working.
Please fix the pkg-config file, using prefix=/usr will fix the issue.
I could just fill in plain text '/usr', but the idea is that you can change the PREFIX for the build and built it so it still works in another location. I think that's how pkgconfig files should be done? And I'm fairly sure I copied this from some other library package, but clearly the @PREFIX@ var isn't getting set in this case. Thanks for the report (it's taken a while for anyone to notice). I'll give it a prod. Wookey -- Principal hats: Debian, Wookware http://wookware.org/
