Package: libffi-dev Version: 3.0.7-1 Severity: important It seems that libffi-dev puts ffi.h in a target-specific directory on each platform. For example, on my system it's in /usr/include/i486-linux-gnu/ which is a directory that is used by absolutely no other package in Debian.
Notably, gcc doesn't look there. As such, the program "#include <ffi.h>" doesn't compile. I'm an author for an upstream program that uses libffi, and I can't write a autoconf script to detect ffi.h if it's not in some sort of standard place. Please remove the target specific part of the path, and just drop ffi.h and ffitarget.h into /usr/include, or if you must, /usr/include/ffi. Either way is fine with me. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25.9 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libffi-dev depends on: ii libffi5 3.0.7-1 Foreign Function Interface library libffi-dev recommends no packages. libffi-dev suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
