Hi Andreas, > I agree but need to work on this package structure. May be I also > check hor to provide a .a static lib for the -dev package.
I had a look at the CMake stuff, and it visibly doesn't allow the simultaneous generation of the .so shared lib together with the .a static lib. As a consequence, one has to build twice civetweb, once with the "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON" option (to get the .so), and once without this option (to get the .a). One could also consider building the C++ library by setting "-CIVETWEB_ENABLE_CXX=ON", which produces the "libcivetweb-cpp.(a|so)" C++ library together with the "libcivetweb.(a|so)" C library. Note however that the C++ library is not used by Orthanc. The "include/CivetServer.h" corresponds to the C++ header file, whereas the "include/civetweb.h" corresponds to the C header (the latter being the only one used by Orthanc). If you prefer, I can try and write the "d/rules" given these hints, once you have imported the Git repository and created the skeleton of the package. > Please note: I removed the Git repository since I had to rebuild the > tarball to get rid of several unneeded code copied of third party > software.

Actually, the core of civetweb is quite small wrt. to the size of the tarball: The "src" and "include" directories are the only mandatory subfolders, as long as the tests and the extensions are not built. > Thank you for your comments and I hope I can contribute to the > enhancement of orthanc by packaging this. I'm extremely grateful for your help, that clearly stimulates me to continue the Debian maintenance. Thanks again, Sébastien-
