libsilo misses silo_exports.h header

[SFriedemann]

after installing silo on ubuntu ...
Code:
sudo apt-get install libsilo-bin libsilo-dev

I get
Code:
/usr/include/silo.h:75:10: fatal error: silo_exports.h: No such file or directory
 #include <silo_exports.h>
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
           compilation terminated.
when compiling parflow which depends on silo.

It does not find `silo_exports.h` ! Where can I find this header? is it a packaging problem?

Code:
/usr$ find . -name '*silo*'
./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/silo.pc
./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsiloh5.so
./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsiloh5.so.0.0.0
./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsiloh5.so.0
./share/doc/libsiloh5-0
./share/doc/libsilo-dev
./share/doc/libsilo-bin
./include/silo.h
./include/silo.inc
./bin/silofile
./bin/silodiff
./bin/silock
does not help the file seems to not be installed on my system. (Or is there another path where I could search for it?)

My ubuntu version:
Code:
$ cat /etc/os-release

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

[Ian J. Bertolacci (ianbertolacci)]

I was also using libsilo-dev under 16.04 and everything was fine.
Then I upgraded to 18.04 (and reinstalled libsilo) and my previously working builds using silo broke.

Maybe something between 16.04 and 18.04 is breaking this.
In the meantime, I've downloaded the SILO source from the LLNL website and built and installed it locally.

[Ian J. Bertolacci (ianbertolacci)]

Scratch that. I just found out that the build of SILO I was doing from source is somehow different from libsiloh5-0, but it includes the silo_exports.h so things things were silently breaking until I uninstalled libsiloh5-0

So can somebody of the packagers help us? I want to have parflow running in a docker container and thus it would be cool to activate silo without recompiling libsilo in it.

I see that this bug has been fixed in disco (19.04). Could we get the fix backported to bionic (18.04)? I'm willing to help if someone could point me in the correct direction. I know software and compiling, though I am not familiar with .deb packaging.

The fix in Debian:

 silo-llnl (4.10.2.real-5) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Export missing header files (silo_exports.h, etc)

How do I use this as a new software source? Software Sources rejects every attempt I've made to enter this under Additional Repositories.
