Package: libjsoncpp-dev
Version: 1.9.6-3
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have a C++ program that uses libjsoncpp as dependency. I installed
libjsoncpp-dev with apt-get. Because the package description said "includes
static libs" I assumed I would have the static libs. When I attempted to link
libjsoncpp statically the linker failed.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I was able to fetch the source with "apt-get source libjsoncpp-dev"
I then modified "debian/rules" file to remove the line "-DBUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF
I then modified "debian/libjsoncpp-dev.install" to add the line "usr/lib/*/*.a"
* What was the outcome of this action?
After making these two modifications to the source, I was able to run
"dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc" to build the "*.deb" files needed
>From there I was able to install the "*.deb" files and get the statically
>linked libraries installed
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The libjsoncpp-dev package description explicitly states that the static libs
are included. However, they are not actually included.
