[Bug 992220] Re: Ubuntu 11 libjasper1 packages are missing the libjasper.a static library

[Matt Malone]

Thank you dB, I had forgotten this bug report.

I am now running 12.04 LTS, and I got xv to work, somehow.   I cannot
remember how.  I may have done something brute force like just copy
libjasper.a from an old distribution or something.

I am not using 64 bit for some really basic reason, I believe connected
to my browser and flash, something like there is no 64-bit flash or
something to painful to live without.   It is so long since I got my
system working, I have forgotten the details.

Title:
  Ubuntu 11 libjasper1 packages are missing the libjasper.a static
  library

Status in “jasper” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The very old image viewer XV:

  xv-3.10a_Complete_Patched_DEBIAN_Source.tgz

  will not compile in Ubuntu 11.10, despite loading all of the
  libjasper1 libraries for JPEG2000.    On Ubuntu 10.04, it works,
  because Ubuntu 10.04 libjasper1 includes the libjasper.a static
  library that programs can link against.

  This small deficiency is breaking a very useful program.   There is
  also no /usr/lib/libjasper.so library on Ubuntu 11 (there is on Ubuntu
  10.04)

  Would you please fix the libjasper1 package in Ubuntu 11 (I assume 12
  too) so that it actually contains the static library ?
