Hello,
I am CCing the message to debian-ocaml.
The libcamlimages-ocaml-dev depends on libpng12-0-dev and should depends
on libpng2-dev. I explain myself :
Lib | Depends
libcamlimages-ocaml-dev | libpng12-0-dev
libgtkxmhtml-dev | libpng2-dev
liblablgtk-dev | libgtkxmhtml-dev
libpng12-0-dev conflicts with libpng2-dev
So i cannot install lablgtk if i want to install libcamlimages.
Furthermore, libcamlimages builds his gtk extension against lablgtk2.
So i have problem to build a lablgtk application with images support.
That was the point.
I have a proposal of solution :
* splitting the libcamlimages packages.
Let says :
libcamlimages-$ext$
libcamlimages-$ext$-dev
with $ext$ in jpeg, png12-0, lablgtk, lablgtk2, gif, core
The core package contains the image description. (ci_image.cm[x]a)
Plus a libcamlimages which depends on libcamlimages-* ( and the same
with libcamlimages-*-dev ).
I am not sure it is the ideal solution.
Just say me what you think about it
Regard
Sylvain LE GALL
