Re: game with small library
Hi! If the shared library is internal to the package, it should not be installed in the system library path (e.g., /usr/lib). Instead, install it under /usr/lib/package. You will need to use a wrapper script to add /usr/lib/package to LD_LIBRARY_PATH wehn running the program. I admit, I have not found the time to try this, yet. And I also admit, my understanding of these issues is rather limited. I am however sceptical that this will work. The point is, that the shared library is to be loaded by the sound-server (artsd), and currently, before running the game for the first time after installation, artsd has to be restarted in order for sound to work. To me, this looks, like a simple wrapper script won't do - but I'll try, as soon as I can find the time. thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

game with small library
Hi! I'm trying to package a game (http://taxipilot.sf.net), that comes with a really small shared library. The only reason this library exists, is that the provided functionality has to run inside the sound-server. Likely, it will never be used by any other package. Now, when I try to package the game as single binary, everything seems to work fine (i.e. the lib gets installed, too), but lintian complains: W: taxipilot: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libEXT_wavpo.so.0.0.0 usr/lib/libEXT_wavpo.so E: taxipilot: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libEXT_wavpo.so.0.0.0 Could anybody point me in the right direction? (Please CC me) Thanks! thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
