Ok, I actually don't need the .la files, so just leave them out. But I do need the header and pkg-config files (/usr/include/libspreadsheet-*/spreadsheet and /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libspreadsheet-*.pc), and these aren't in any package right now. The rules file in the most recent Debian package at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/math/gnumeric differs from the older one my bug report referred to, though. But the latest packages obviously don't provide the include and pc files either.
If it helps, I can look at the latest source package and see what changes would be needed there. But I'd first like to get some feedback on whether the package maintainers would consider this at all. If excluding those development files from the Debian/Ubuntu packages is a conscious decision, then so be it. But you must be aware that this makes it really hard if not impossible for 3rd party plugin developers to maintain Debian packages for their plugins, and this can't be in the interest of the Gnumeric project. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006242 Title: Please add gnumeric-dev package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnumeric/+bug/1006242/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
