Apparently ncurses has an --enable-pc-files option to generate
pkg-config files. pkg-config is quite common nowadays; perhaps it would
be worth enabling that option and installing those files in -dev?
Sounds reasonable to me. Do you know if the lib{32,64}ncurses*-dev
packages need special treatment or if they can use the .pc files from
their normal counterparts? I see that the .pc files set
libdir=/usr/lib, but (fortunately) do not use -L${libdir} in Libs, so
they might work for the lib{32,64}*-dev packages as well, but I'm not a
pkg-config expert.
I'm not - but there's not a lot of comment on them. fwiw, this is
"ncurses.pc" from my last build:
prefix=/usr/local/ncurses
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include/ncurses
major_version=5
version=5.7.20110108
Name: ncurses
Description: ncurses 5.7 library
Version: ${version}
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lncurses
Cflags: -I${includedir}
If the lib{32,64}*-dev packages needed their own .pc files, where would
those be installed?
suggestions?
