Recently I tried to build fuppes UPnP Media Server (http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/) but I came across the following error:
bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libogg.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libogg.la' is not a valid libtool archive The problem seems to be that Debian is removing the .la files from most of their packages (http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/08/msg00783.html) and as a result I get the following: # dpkg -L libogg-dev | grep "a$" /usr/lib/libogg.a # So now I don't have a libogg.la file anymore. I have read around and all I know is that you are not supposed to need to .la files to use libtool and compile your package. I read the libtool-automake docs but I still cannot see what I am supposed to do; they seem to suggest that you need all of the .la files present. So my question is, how am I supposed to compile fuppes so that it does not require .la files from packages like libogg-dev? N.B. I am asking this here because this is the first open source project that I have decided to work on and I hope to re-raise fuppes, from the rut it seems to have fallen into, to a package that somebody might even want to sponsor. Thankyou for any time and help. If this is not the right place for me to ask this kind of question, please point me in the right direction and I'd be more than happy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
