Reporter: Bas Couwenberg | Owner: grass-dev@…

Component: Default | Version: svn-releasebranch76
Keywords: | CPU: Unspecified
Platform: Linux |
----------------------------+---------------------------------
The lintian QA tool reported several pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-
library issues:
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_gmath
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_gis
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_datetime
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_gproj
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_raster
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_vector
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_dbmibase
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lgrass_dbmiclient
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass.pc -lz
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_gmath
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_gis
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_datetime
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_gproj
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_raster
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_vector
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_dbmibase
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lgrass_dbmiclient
* usr/share/pkgconfig/grass76.pc -lz
The tag description is as follows:
{{{
The specified pkg-config(1) file references a shared object via, for
example, Libs: -lfoo but this package appears to not ship the
associated "libfoo.so" shared library.
This will result in a linker error and was likely caused by a missing
installation step.
Please ensure that your package ships the corresponding libfoo.so
shared object file.
Refer to the pkg-config(1) manual page and
https://bugs.debian.org/919180 for details.
}}}
Part of the problem is that the libraries are in a private directory like:
{{{
./usr/lib/grass76/lib/libgrass_gmath.7.6.so
./usr/lib/grass76/lib/libgrass_gmath.so -> libgrass_gmath.7.6.so
}}}
And not having the .so symlink provided by the grass-dev package like for
normal shared library packages.
Another issue is that `-lm` & `-lz` should probably be moved from `Libs:`
to `Libs.private:`.
