Shared object files of driver not globally anounced to system

[Tobias Groll]

The package installs some shared object files in the folder /usr/lib/OpenNI2/Drivers but this is no standard search path in ubuntu for shared object files. Additionally the package does not add its install path to /etc/ld.so.conf . Because of that it is not possible to run programms that link to this driver dynamically out of the box.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Files in /usr/lib/OpenNI2/Drivers/ are drivers, dynamically loaded by /usr/lib/libOpenNI2.so.0.

[Tobias Groll (gibot)]

Perhabs then the Libs: line in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libopenni2.pc is wrong because there the .so files of the drivers are explicitly included, so if I use pkgconfig to get the right linking libraries my program which uses openni searches for libPS1080 libOniFile and libDummyDevice. So I have to include /usr/lib/OpenNI2/Drivers to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH for running my program

This is the Libs line of libopenni2.pc:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lOpenNI2 -L${libdir}/OpenNI2/Drivers -lDummyDevice -lOniFile -lPS1080

This has been fixed in version 2.2.0.33+dfsg-7, see https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/openni2.git/commit/?id=8491921c14b8c41850f0e0b0493e195cb53a71a3
