They ship them separately. On Ubuntu, usually a -dev package. I even recall -devel-static packages (-devel was headers only and such) ~20 years back. The reason to ship them separately is simple: not everybody has the space/bandwidth to spare. These habits are decades old. Some newer distros moved to ship everything in one package, though. One odd thing about libuuid: The Ubuntu package is called uuid-dev (not libuuid-dev). That's something I don't understand ;) Nico _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
