Bug#744542: libgtkmm-2.4-dev: Missing static library

[Gaetan Allaert]

Package: libgtkmm-2.4-dev
Version: 1:2.24.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The libgtkmm-dev package doesn't contain the static libary. This prevents to create a binary statically linked against GTKMM. The same issue exists for packages depending on gtkmm: libatkmm-1.6-dev, libpangomm-1.4-dev.

The issue still exists in Debian unstable (sid).

The following files have to be patched to generate the static library:

GTKMM
-----

cat -- >> gtkmm2.4-2.24.2/debian/rules <<EOF

DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += --enable-static
EOF

cat -- >> gtkmm2.4-2.24.2/debian/libgtkmm-2.4-dev.install <<EOF
usr/lib/lib*.a
EOF

ATKMM
-----

cat -- >> atkmm1.6-2.22.6/debian/rules <<EOF

DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += --enable-static
EOF

cat -- >> atkmm1.6-2.22.6/debian/libatkmm-1.6-dev.install <<EOF
usr/lib/lib*.a
EOF

PANGOMM
-------

sed --in-place -e 's/--disable-static/--enable-static/' pangomm-2.28.4/debian/rules

cat -- >> pangomm-2.28.4/debian/libpangomm-1.4-dev.install <<EOF
usr/lib/lib*.a
EOF

With these patches, the following static libraries will be generated:
	/usr/lib/libpangomm-1.4.a
	/usr/lib/libatkmm-1.6.a
	/usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.a
