[Bug 992220] Re: Ubuntu 11 libjasper1 packages are missing the libjasper.a static library

[dB]

Are you on a 32-bit system or 64-bit?  I happened to notice that
libjasper does include libjasper.a on 64-bit systems.  I got xv to build
with the following one line patch to the Makefile:

change:

JP2KDIR = /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

to

JP2KDIR = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

Title:
  Ubuntu 11 libjasper1 packages are missing the libjasper.a static
  library

Status in “jasper” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The very old image viewer XV:

  xv-3.10a_Complete_Patched_DEBIAN_Source.tgz

  will not compile in Ubuntu 11.10, despite loading all of the
  libjasper1 libraries for JPEG2000.    On Ubuntu 10.04, it works,
  because Ubuntu 10.04 libjasper1 includes the libjasper.a static
  library that programs can link against.

  This small deficiency is breaking a very useful program.   There is
  also no /usr/lib/libjasper.so library on Ubuntu 11 (there is on Ubuntu
  10.04)

  Would you please fix the libjasper1 package in Ubuntu 11 (I assume 12
  too) so that it actually contains the static library ?
