Package: libmediainfo-dev Version: 0.7.52-1 Severity: serious Hello,
currently, if an application relies on the flags returned from pkgconfig for libmediainfo, the application cannot be linked! This happens because MediaInfo_Const.h makes use of the _UNICODE definition to create the type definition for the String class used in the library interfaces. This trick is ok for Win32 environment but not for Unix where there is no such convention. Another application doesn't know how libmediainfo was compiled, and cannot guess. OTOH that's what pkgconfig is for. libmediainfo.pc should export the required definition flags for the compiler. Or maybe create a custom def.var (like MEDIAINFO_UNICODE) in order to avoid interference with other flags, and MediaInfo_Const.h would contain something like #if defined(UNICODE) || defined (_UNICODE) || defined (MEDIAINFO_UNICODE) instead of #if defined(UNICODE) || defined (_UNICODE).
