[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#983547: julia-common: julia-config.jl does not find libjulia.so

[Gregory]

Package: julia-common
Version: 1.5.3+dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

To embed Julia in a C program it's possible to use the script:
/usr/share/julia/julia-config.jl
But in Debian it is not usable with the following args:
--ldflags or --ldlibs

This script is a simple tool to know automatically which parameter to
give to gcc when embeding Julia in a C program. It's usable in Julia
from julialang.org. This is in fact an old "bug" in the Debian package.

Try for example:
$/usr/share/julia/julia-config.jl --allflags

It will return (among other things):
libjulia.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

Adding a symlink libjulia.so that points to libjulia.so.1.5 (package libjulia1)
is a workaround of course.
