Public bug reported:
The gnumeric packages in Ubuntu currently lack the development files.
Apparently (according to a comment in the rules file) libspreadsheet
isn't considered mature enough. This is a mistake IMHO. Mature or not,
these files are needed, in particular, to build Gnumeric plugins which
are not built as part of Gnumeric itself. An example is my PPA here:
https://launchpad.net/~dr-graef/+archive/pure-lang. Currently I have to
provide an alternative set of Gnumeric packages which includes the
development files just in order to build the Gnumeric Pure plugin.
Adding the development package is trivial:
1. Remove these three lines in the rules file:
rm -f debian/tmp/usr/lib/libspreadsheet*.la
rm -f debian/tmp/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libspreadsheet-*.pc
rm -rf debian/tmp/usr/include/libspreadsheet-*
2. Add something like the following package description to the control
file:
Package: gnumeric-dev
Architecture: any
Depends: gnumeric (= ${binary:Version}), ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends},
libgoffice-0.8-dev
Description: spreadsheet application for GNOME - development files
Gnumeric is a spreadsheet application that interoperates well
with other spreadsheets. It comes with plugins that enable it to deal with
commonly used spreadsheet file formats.
.
This package contains the headers and libraries needed for developing
gnumeric plugins.
3. Add the following file gnumeric-dev.install:
/usr/include
/usr/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/lib/*.la
