 Hi,

  Hello Kurt,

 Your package is failing to build on various arches because the
 libical directory is using a very old version of libtool (1.3.4).
 Please update that to the latest version.

  This Vcalendar does not compile with latest libical version :-/
 
 It's also trying to make a shared library without using -fPIC.
 This also causes build failures on other arches and is probably
 the result of not using libtool properly.  It also linking
 staticly to it, so it should probably be easy to work around
 that.

  Could you to explain me how? Sorry for being dense but I don't see what
workaround are you referring to. I don't want to install the library
globally but the plugin needs it, how can I achieve this without static
linking? 

 Is there a reason that libical isn't a seperate package?  Can it
 be useful for other programs to link to?

  Seems there was more than one when I tried to package it...
  See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/10/msg01485.html

  regards,

Since you only want to link staticly, there is no need to make
the shared version.  Only the shared version requires the -fPIC.
It shouldn't be too hard to let it only make the static version.
