    From kwang son@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 31 02:00:01 2024
    Hi,

    I'm a new user to Debian.
    I hope this is the right place to ask questions.

    libiniparser-dev does not have pc file.
    which is exist on upstream repo [1]

    I want to know
    1. -dev not needs pc file?
    2. why upstream has, but debian packaging not?

    Not mandatory.
    *-dev usually distributes headers. Optionally .pc file.


    2. why upstream has, but debian packaging not?


    Maintainer of the package probably overlooked installing it - or had a
    reason not to install it.

    You can open a wishlist bug asking gently to install that pkgconfig pc
    file, using
    reportbug libiniparser-dev

    In the meantime, use -liniparser and -I/usr/include/iniparser.h (or similar with correct names).
