Just enlight me how did you do that ;) I applied the attached patch and then ran 'autoreconf -i -s'. A subsequent 'fakeroot make -f debian/rules install' produces a dynamic library and a potrace binary linked against it. It doesn't yet install the header file potracelib.h. I hope that's straightforward to fix.

Hi Bartosz! You wrote: The potrace source also seem to contain a libpotrace, which is fromexample used by dvisvgm. Could you please also build libpotrace and libpotrace-dev packages? By default upstream's build infrastructure builds only static library. Would it be enough for you or should I ask him to provide dynamic library too? No, I really need the dynamic library. If I would use the static library, a copy of it would go into the dvisvgm program, which would complicate updates of potrace. In any case, building a shared library shouldn't be too hard: simply adding a -fPIC gcc flag and linking with -shared shoudl be all that is required. See for example http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html Greetings, Bas. -- Kind regards, ++ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | || Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | ++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
