Bug#1055389: libgccjit-12-dev: gccjit is not added to the usual library search paths
Package: libgccjit-12-dev
Version: 12.3.0-9
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when installing libgccjit-12-dev, I'd expect to be able to write applications that link against gccjit.
(The GCC codegen backend for the Rust compiler is one example for such an application.)
However, strangely, that does not work: instead I get a linker error telling me that the library was not found.
The reason for this is that libgccjit.so is located in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12, rather than /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.
It would be great if a symlink could be added to the usual linker locations, so that people linking against gccjit
do not have to resort to ugly work-arounds such as `sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/libgccjit.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgccjit.so`.
Kind regards,
Ralf
