cURL-8.21.0, ICU-78.3, and libxml2-2.15.3
Install libqalculate by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/libqalculate-5.12.0 &&
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-78.3. Such a reference may cause packages
depending on this package to be unnecessary linked against the ICU
libraries, and this can increase the burden of rebuilding 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.
