[Freeassociation-devel] Makefile.am issues in libical

[Debarshi Ray]

I am the Fedora packager for libical, and I was pleasantly suprised to
see a new set of mailing lists because the previous one did not seem
to work.

Congratulations on the new release.

However there are a few issues that I would like to bring to your
notice. Firstly I get the impression that the C++ bindings are badly
maintaned. eg., I needed the following patch to get 0.32 to build with
the C++ bindings enabled:

[rishi at freebook SOURCES]$ diff -urNp

There are some more issues like undefined symbols in the C++ bindings,
which are all due to Makefile.am issues. I have a patch and can post
it if you are interested.

Happy hacking,
