conf-libclang
on Ubuntu/Debian does not install all needed dependencies
#26324
On Debian-like distributions, conf-libclang attemps to install
libclang-cpp-dev
,libclang-dev
andllvm-dev
, possibly with a specific version number, depending on the exactos-distribution
andos-version
. However, this will not includecmake
rules forlibclang
, which are distributed in theclang
package. I could installconf-clang
for that, but this package does not rely on a specific version number, so that there's a high probability to end up with two incompatible versions forclang
andlibclang-{cpp-}dev
, rendering the setup unusable.Thus, I'm not sure what the best course of action would be. The way Debian splits up llvm/clang related packages clearly does not help in this regard. But it might be easier to maintain the package if the goal is only to install the latest version of all packages, without trying to enforce a specific version (for full disclosure, the opam package I'm interested in,
frama-clang
, maintains compatibility with clang 12-18, so I guess it would be fine with most distributions)The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
