Hi Norbert,
indeed; this file is architecture dependent and it should be possible to
have coexisting different versions, e.g., for x86_64 under /usr/lib/ and for
i686 under /usr/lib/.
so it sounds like kpathsea/c-auto.h should exist.
Although texk/kpathsea/Makefile.am says:
nodist_kpselib_HEADERS = \
c-auto.h
Does nodist indicate c-auto.h is not for distribution?
Not at all, it just indicates that this file is part of neither the
distribution tarball nor the SVN repository but rather built by configure.
Is this a bug in libkpathsea-dev or is the header gone for good?
Could you please let me know what is the case, so that we can
either fix our distributed libkpathsea package or ask the packages
to fix their checks.
libkpathsea-dev for x86_64 should contain libkpathsea.so, kpathsea/c-auto.h,
and pkgconfig/kpathsea.pc, all under, e.g., /usr/lib64/. The package should
use pkg-config to get the correct CPPFLAGS.
BTW: this is mentioned in kpathsea/NEWS as you should know.
Regards
Peter
