[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#335237: glpk: GLPK should produce a shared library (patch for libtool included)

[Rafael Laboissiere]

Package: glpk
Version: 4.8-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I am filing this bug report hoping that Bug#310226 will be fixed.  In sum,
buildd for octave2.9 is failing for some arches because glpk dos not
provide a shared library.

Attached below are two patches for generating a shared library for glpk
through libtool.  The first patch regards only the upstream sources and
should be forwarded to the upstream author (unless you are willing to fork
the sources and maintain the libtool support only in Debian).  The second
patch regards only the Debian-related files.

The patch is very slim (less than 10 lines changed upstream) and I guess
it is worth applying it (or getting upstream adopting it).  I have tested
the patches and they work fine in both sarge and etch.  Of course,
aclocla, libtoolize, automake, and autoconf must be run after application
of the patches.

Cheers,

Rafael
