Package: libassimp-dev
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Due to an upstream bug (1), Using libassimp-dev from CMake is broken due
to the way the upstream CMake config calculates the root directory and
the use of -DASSIMP_LIB_INSTALL_DIR to install assimp into a multiarch
directory.
The included example CMakeLists.txt displays the issue.
When I run it on stretch or buster I get output that includes
-- ASSIMP_ROOT_DIR: /usr/lib
-- ASSIMP_LIBRARY_DIRS: /usr/lib/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
-- ASSIMP_INCLUDE_DIRS: /usr/lib/include
I have proposed a fix upstream (2) but I am not sure if or when it will
be accepted.
