Using static libraries instead of shared libraries isn't a matter of preference. Upstream should be educated to use shared library. Unless there is a very imperial technical reason (circle dependency, ABI un-stability, etc).
This package shouldn't make use of a static library instead of creating a shared object.
The last update from upstream was in early 2008 and the email address bounces.
Futhermore src-mathlink and src-mathlink2 aren't compiled
Are these useful?
Again, there is no reason for such package to install theses headers in /usr/include instead of /usr/include/cddlib to prevent namespace issues.
Agreed.
Also, Adding pkgconfig support should have been done to ease the -I/usr/include/cddlib addition.
Unneeded work considering how many dependencies this library will have.
cddlibman.pdf should have been generated from the .tex file.
Done.
How do you run the example ?
$ gcc /usr/share/doc/cddlib-devel-094f/src/testcdd1.c -I/usr/include/cddlib -lcdd $ ./a.out
When it asks you for a file, pass one of the files in /usr/share/doc/cddlib-devel-094f/examples/*.ine.
