To all that this concerns,

I have a question to missing header files that don't install, by
default, making poppler not very useful to build applications like Scribus.

Whether I use cmake or the traditional autotools and configure the path
for /usr/local or some other path like /opt the question isn't that the
package doesn't compile or install it's just that it doesn't install
enough parts to make it useful for building other packages.

Debian clearly has a custom script to include the `extras' the default
install fails to add.

The default install includes:
...
To get Scribus trunk to build I have to include under /poppler the
following:

/fofi, /splash and /goo

I also have to include [as Debian does] all the header [.h] files under
the /poppler source

Finally, I have to include the poppler-config.h that is autocreated
during the build process of poppler under the build path of /poppler


QUESTION: Is this by design so that the package maintainers can come up
with their own custom install scripts or is this an oversight?
It is by design, read ./configure --help if you want to install more headers

Albert

I ask this as Scribus clearly builds with the assumptions that Debian
has made in it's package maintenance and installation process.

Sincerely Yours,

Marc
