Bug Description

The libtheora-dev package doesn't install some files necessary to build against the Theora 1.0 API.

Namely, these files are:
/usr/include/theora/codec.h
/usr/lib/libtheoraenc.so (symlink)
/usr/lib/libtheoradec.so (symlink)

For consistency, it should also probably include:
/usr/lib/libtheoraenc.a
/usr/lib/libtheoraenc.la
/usr/lib/libtheoradec.a
/usr/lib/libtheoraenc.la

Without these files, you can't include theoraenc.h or theoradec.h without errors, or link against -ltheoraenc or -ltheoradec; all of this is needed according to http://theora.org/doc/libtheora-1.0/

You forgot theoradec and theoraenc for pkg-config. Just add

debian/tmp/usr/lib/pkgconfig/theoradec.pc
debian/tmp/usr/lib/pkgconfig/theoraenc.pc

in libtheora-dev.install

Also, it seems that drop-rfc-nondfsg patch isn't needed, at least not starting from 1.0-2

I got a notification a few days ago stating that it would be fixed in
Debian's libtheora-dev_1.0-2.1:
http://<email address hidden>/msg238594.html

I don't know how Debian works or when it will be released, but when it
does I assume Ubuntu will take the fix from upstream.

What do you know, it's already in http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libtheora-dev and http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libtheora-dev

I guess this closes this bug.

Changed in libtheora (Ubuntu):

Can this be pushed out as a Jaunty update? The current version (without this fix) is totally useless...
