ITP: g-wrap (& question about -fPIC)
g-wrap is a GPL'd tool for simplifying the generation of guile wrappers
for C libraries.
I have made some .debs on a potato system, which are available from
http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~rgmerk/software
Rob Browning, the upstream maintainer who is also the emacs20 Debian
maintainer, will probably sponsor the upload until I get around
to the new-maintainer process.
The packages pass lintian, with one notable exception -
libgwrapguile.so is not compiled with the -fPIC flag. According to
policy, shared libraries should be compiled with -fPIC, while static
libraries should not. g-wrap uses automake, and therefore libtool,
to compile its libraries. Is there a "standard way" to set things up
so that the .so gets compiled with -fPIC and the .a does not?
