- ptlib/pwlib on Debian
- ------------------------
-
- Some changes of installation paths of the original libpt package had
- to be made to comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard under
- UNIX-like operating systems:
-
- - The libraries were installed under /usr/lib, the header files under
- /usr/include, /usr/include/ptlib and /usr/include/ptclib.
- - The ptlib-config script was installed under /usr/bin.
- - Documentation of the main package libpt resides in
- /usr/share/doc/libpt-$(VERSION), the one in package libpt-doc installs
- to /usr/share/doc/libpt-doc.
-
-
- The shared libraries are named
- libpt.so.$(SOVERSION)
- for simplicity, in contrast to the upstream versions
- libpt_$(OS)_$(Arch).so.$(SOVERSION)
- .
-
- Another point was to get a single directory to contain all
- subdirectories necessary to build other libraries and applications of
- the openh323 project that rely on ptlib (as the ptlib is part of the
- openh323 project efforts).
-
- These packages assume that the source tree of ptlib is still there
- and be pointed to by the PWLIBDIR environment variable.
- Now, to facilitate that, the structure of the source tree
- was mimicked in /usr/share/pwlib mainly through
- linking.
-
- You merely have to export PWLIB=/usr/share/pwlib before building mentioned
- packages. Therein the makefile include files which are central to
- the building process of both ptlib and openh323 can be found.
-
- Furthermore, the ptlib-config script had to be modified to reflect the
- aforementioned changes. The contents of OSRELEASE (=`uname -r`)
- and the value of the -DP_LINUX (=$OSRELEASE) in CCFLAGS were deleted,
- because its purpose was not clear within a packaged version.
-
- The LIBS var now contains a
- -lpt
- , which it lacked in upstream source for some unknown reason.
-
- There's no support for firewire, yet, because as of this release it
- isn't possible to build in support of both A/V AND digital camera on
- firewire.
