Package: highs
Version: 1.12.0+ds1-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The installed highs.pc pkg-config file contains incorrect libdir and
includedir paths with a duplicated "usr" prefix, causing compilation and
linking failures for any project using pkg-config to locate HiGHS.
Current (broken) highs.pc:
prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
includedir=/usr/usr/include/highs
The correct paths should be:
libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
includedir=/usr/include/highs
Impact: Any software using "pkg-config --cflags highs" or
"pkg-config --libs highs" gets non-existent paths and fails to
compile or link.
Root cause:
In debian/rules, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to the relative path "usr",
while CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR and CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR are also set to
paths starting with "usr/":
TARGET_PREFIX = usr
TARGET_LIBDIR = $(TARGET_PREFIX)/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
SKBUILD_ARGS = \
-C skbuild.cmake.args=-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(TARGET_PREFIX) \
-C skbuild.cmake.args=-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=$(TARGET_LIBDIR) \
-C skbuild.cmake.args=-DCMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR=$(TARGET_PREFIX)/include
The upstream highs.pc.in template uses CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR and
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR:
prefix=@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@
libdir=@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR@
includedir=@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR@/highs
CMake's GNUInstallDirs computes the FULL_ variants by prepending the
prefix to relative paths. Since both the prefix ("usr") and the dir
variables ("usr/lib/...") are relative, CMake concatenates them:
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBDIR = usr/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_INCLUDEDIR = usr/usr/include
The post-build sed command only strips $(CURDIR) but does not fix the
double "usr" issue:
sed -i "s|$(CURDIR)||g" $(TARGET_LIBDIR)/pkgconfig/highs.pc
Suggested fix:
Pass CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR and CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR as paths relative
to the prefix (without the leading "usr/"):
-C skbuild.cmake.args=-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
-C skbuild.cmake.args=-DCMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR=include
Since TARGET_LIBDIR is also used elsewhere in debian/rules (BUILD_LIBDIR,
execute_after_dh_auto_install, dh_link), a safer approach is to introduce
a separate variable for the cmake args:
TARGET_PREFIX = usr
TARGET_LIBDIR = $(TARGET_PREFIX)/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
CMAKE_LIBDIR = lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
CMAKE_INCLUDEDIR = include
And use CMAKE_LIBDIR / CMAKE_INCLUDEDIR only in the skbuild cmake args.
How to reproduce:
apt install libhighs-dev
cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/highs.pc
# Observe libdir=/usr/usr/lib/... and includedir=/usr/usr/include/...
pkg-config --cflags highs
# Returns -I/usr/usr/include/highs (wrong path)
Both 1.12.0+ds1-2 (Ubuntu resolute) and 1.12.0+ds1-3 (Debian sid)
are affected.
