Package: libcrypto++-dev

Folks:

Thank you very much for Debian, and for packaging Crypto++!

I am writing some portable Free Software that depends on the Crypto++ library, and for all platforms other than Debian, I #include "cryptopp/rsa.h", and -lcryptopp. The upstream GNUmakefile and the build tools for other compilers all produce header files and libraries that fit that naming convention.

However, on Debian, I have to change this to #include "crypto++/ rsa.h" instead and add -lcrypto++. This means I have another layer of my build system which attempts to figure out under which name the library is installed on the local system and then use that name.

It would be nice if, in the future, Debian added symlinks from the official upstream library and include names.

Thanks again!

Regards,

Zooko O'Whielacronx
