Install libqalculate by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/libqalculate-5.9.0 &&
make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
The libtool archive file from this package is referring to the
libraries from ICU-78.2. Such a reference may cause packages
depending on this package to be unnecessary linked against the ICU
libraries and increase the burden to rebuild packages if ICU is
updated to a new major version. As we've explained in Libtool archive (.la)
files, these libtool archive files are unneeded anyway. So as
the root user, remove the libtool
archive file now:
rm -v /usr/lib/libqalculate.la
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
