Bug#519234: back to RFP



retitle RFP: libclipsmm -- C++ interface for CLIPS
noowner

thanks

Packaging this has been really difficult and needs cooperation from the clips package maintainer (jfs)

Here's a mail I sent him (although I didn't get a reply at the time):

Hi,

I'm trying to package[1] clipsmm[2] and the upstream files have just
been a giant of hurt so far between the unbuildable 6.30 version, and
broken X IDE...

I'm having a few issues with compiling clipsmm:
- clips doesn't provide pkg-config .pc files
- some "FunctionContext" methods are missing

I'm working while looking at the Fedora packages which seem to be
working, clips[3] and clipsmm[4].
They seem to include the .pc files, somehow. They also add a
FunctionContext.zip file with methods used by clipsmm, bumping the
version to a weird 6.25 (see envrnmnt.h in the .zip file for example).

Do you have any specific insight into this ?

Cheers

Arthur

If anyone else is interesting in packaging this, I can give him more explanation on what's going on with the FunctionContext mess.
