Thank you very much for your quick response to my request to link to Debian's libcrypto++ in the same way that I link to upstream Crypto++ library on other plaforms.

Unfortunately, the fix you made to add a symlink from /usr/include/ cryptopp to /usr/include/crypto++ is not complete, because I also need to tell g++ how to link to the library, which is done for upstream Crypto++ with "-lcryptopp". Currently I still have to detect whether I have Debian-ized "libcrypto++.so" present, or upstream-style "libcryptopp.so" present. It is harder to check for libraries than for include directories, so currently I check for the existence of "/usr/include/cryptopp", and it is there then I use '#include "cryptopp/rsa.h"' and I use "-lcryptopp", else I use '#include "crypto++/rsa.h"' and I use "-lcrypto++".

So for your package to make it easier for me to build against Debian Crypto++ as well as against upstream Crypto++, it has to be the case that '#include "cryptopp/rsa.h"' and "-lcryptopp" works.

Would it be possible for you to add symlinks so that "-lcryptopp" works?

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Zooko
