Installed library:
libffi.so
The Libffi library provides a portable, high level programming interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to call any function specified by a call interface description at run time.
Modify the Makefile to install headers into the standard
/usr/include directory instead of
/usr/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include.
sed -e '/^includesdir/ s/$(libdir).*$/$(includedir)/' \
-i include/Makefile.in
sed -e '/^includedir/ s/=.*$/=@includedir@/' \
-e 's/^Cflags: -I${includedir}/Cflags:/' \
-i libffi.pc.in
