all these things should be solved once ngspice 28 has passed the NEW
queue. Then ngspice would also be available within the main section.

https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/ngspice_28-1.html

Hopefully it will processed in the near future.

You can build ngspice-28 in between times by your own.

Bug#834335: ngspice isn't providing libngspice.so

2018-08-02 Thread Michael Büsch 
I would like to second the proposal to add libngspice.so support to the
ngspice package.
PySpice ( https://pyspice.fabrice-salvaire.fr/ ) needs libngspice.so.
So I'm currently stuck with compiling ngspice from source by myself.

Also new versions of ngspice are available. Please consider an upgrade.

Thanks.

The needed changes for the build and installation of the libngspice are
quite small. With the changes from the appended patches I could solve my
dependency problem for KiCad. The also needed header files for building
against ngspice are already shipped in
/usr/share/ngspice/include/ngspice.

I'v also made some additional changes to the helper files like adopting
the current situation for the copyright file. It's still pain to collect
the informations here as upstream isn't providing clear copyright and
license information in a easy to use form. Also it may be worth to split
the source package into the free and unfortunately non-free package so
the clear free binaries and development files could go into main. The
KiCad package would benefit from the needed libngspice library.

Regards
Carsten

Bug#834335: ngspice isn't providing libngspice.so

2016-08-14 Thread Carsten Schoenert 
Package: ngspice
Version: 26-1.1
Severity: important

Hi,

while working on l10n translations on recent development versions of
KiCad I need the libngspice library for getting the Spice simulation
working.
KiCad is also available in the Debian repository.

https://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kicad.html

The libngspice library will get built if the environment is configured with
'--enable-ngshared'.
See also http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/shared.html and
http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/docs/ngspice-manual.pdf page 349.
