Thanks for checking. That's perfectly welcome and in this case very
sensible. I confirm I've got the mail, checked the result ... and got
distracted and forgot. :-(
The thing is that I was wondering why while the symlink is set inside
the resulting tarball the actual *.a lib was missing. The answer was
simple - the sequence in the debian/*links file was wrong.
Unfortunately that did not seem to help. In my opinion we should really
rename that file and this can be done by
override_dh_install:
dh_install
mv ...
Once a user want to link against this library the option is -lamplsolver
and the file that the linker is seeking for is libamplsolver.a. So I
do not see any point in keeping the original name.
Kind regards and sorry for the delay
Andreas.
