Public bug reported: Later versions of libprotobuf-dev (10.10 onward) seem to include the libprotobuf-lite.so symlink to the actual libprotobuf-lite.so libraries (.5 or .7) provided by libprotobuf5/libprotobuf-lite7.
But the version for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) is missing the libprotobuf- lite.so symlink, even though it installs a .pc so that pkg-config --libs protobuf-lite reports "-lprotobuf-lite". This causes programs using libprotobuf-lite not to compile, even when they use the options supplied by pkg-config. libprotobuf-dev should either (a) include the symlink, or (b) if it's not appropriate to link against libprotobuf-lite5, remove the pkg-config entry. ** Affects: protobuf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936729 Title: libprotobuf-dev should include libprotobuf-lite.so symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protobuf/+bug/936729/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
