Install libqalculate by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/libqalculate-5.6.0 &&
make
To test the results, issue: make check. One set of tests, strings.batch, fails, but the log does not say why. Removing src/strings.batch allows all other tests to pass.
Now, as the root user:
make install
The libtool archive file from this package is referring to the
libraries from ICU-77.1. Such a reference may cause packages
depending on this package to be unnecessary linked against the ICU
libraries and increase the burden to rebuild 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.
