[Bug 385338] [NEW] libgps-dev missing some c++ bindings

[BZB]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libgps-dev

It is not possible to link to libgps because some c++ symbols are
missing.   This is fixed in 2.37 - see
http://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=14197

My setup:
$ uname -a
Linux mail 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 15 15:54:25 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release:	8.04

$ apt-cache policy libgps-dev
libgps-dev:
  Installed: 2.36-2
  Candidate: 2.36-2
  Version table:
 *** 2.36-2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


To reproduce:

install libgps-dev 2.36-2 using Synaptic
create the following source file as libgpsmmtest.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <libgpsmm.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	gpsmm::gpsmm*           gpsHandle;
	struct gps_data_t*      gpsData;

	gpsHandle = new gpsmm::gpsmm();
	gpsData = gpsHandle->open();    

	if (!gpsData)
	{
		std::cerr << "Fatal error opening connection to gpsd" << std::endl;
		exit(1);
	}

	delete gpsHandle;
}


Attempt to compile this:

$ g++ libgpsmmtest.cpp -lgps -o libgpsmmtest
/tmp/ccn70hRc.o: In function `main':
test.cpp:(.text+0x1ae): undefined reference to `gpsmm::open()'
/tmp/ccn70hRc.o: In function `gpsmm::gpsmm()':
test.cpp:(.text._ZN5gpsmmC1Ev[gpsmm::gpsmm()]+0x4): undefined reference to `vtable for gpsmm'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
