Bug#962274: libcamera-dev: camera.pc doesn't produce necessary CFLAGS to #include <libcamera/camera.h>
Package: libcamera-dev
Version: 0~git20200417+35269f0-2
Severity: important
$ dpkg -L libcamera-dev:amd64 | grep 'camera\.h$'
/usr/include/libcamera/libcamera/camera.h
/usr/include/libcamera/libcamera/libcamera.h
$ pkg-config --cflags --libs camera
-lcamera
As a result, compiling Pipewire git master with the new libcamera plugin
enabled fails with:
../spa/plugins/libcamera/libcamera_wrapper.cpp:46:10: fatal error: libcamera/camera.h: No such file or directory
46 | #include <libcamera/camera.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would expect that either libcamera headers should be installed in
/usr/include/libcamera/*.h, or `pkg-config --cflags camera` should print
"-I/usr/include/libcamera".
A simple compile/link/execute autopkgtest is an excellent way to detect
this class of problem before it affects dependent packages. The one I
contributed to libsndfile-dev in 1.0.28-8 is a recent example. If there
isn't a minimal standalone test in the libcamera source package, just
writing a main() that instantiates some simple object like PixelFormat
should work.
