For this one should probably add installation of the header files :) Since the header file in question includes other headers of the project it might be best to put the header files into a sub-directory and also create a pkg-config file.
I'll see what I can do to add these things, I expect to push this later today or tomorrow. > I considered it the easiest way to build the lib by adding > configure.ac and Makefile.am as quilt patch and use autoconf which > does at least to the point where some C++ error stops the build (due > to stricter compile options). Any hint how to fix: Actually, the original Makefile doesn't touch the offending file SWMain.cpp, which means you just shouldn't compile it at all. It also doesn't make much sense to add into the library since it defines a main function. best, Gert
