Bruno, I am working on packaging your ROTE library for Debian, as I am also packaging anyterm, which depends on ROTE. I have a couple of requests. First, would it be possible for you to modify the library build process to create a librote.a and librote.la for inclusion in the development version of the library package? Second, would it be possible for you to include the information from roteprivate.h used by anyterm [0] in the rote.h header? I ask this becuase it is not possible for the Debian package build system to make roteprivate.h, which is only in the source of rote, available during the build of anyterm. This leaves only a couple of options, none of which are acceptable. Specifically, the anyterm pacakge would need to include a copy of roteprivate.h (which would couple the two packages too tightly), or Phil would need to include a copy of the rote source in anyterm, which misses the point of a library. I have emailed Phil about this, but this is not a very high priority for him since the current setup works for him and the changes we need to make this happen will cause you difficulties by breaking binary compatibility in your library. If you would be willing to accept patches for inclusion in the next release or if there is anything else we can do, please let me know. -Roberto [0] http://anyterm.org/1.1/install.html -- Roberto C.
