Source: ntl Version: 9.9.1-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
NTL has the ability to link against the gf2x library, but the current version in Debian does not seem to do so: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libgmp10, libstdc++6 (>= 5.2) Sage uses NTL with gf2x, as follows: https://git.sagemath.org/sage.git/tree/build/pkgs/ntl/spkg-install#n112 NTL_GF2X_LIB=on For some reason Debian switches this off: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/libntl.git/tree/debian/rules#n28 NTL_GF2X_LIB=off This was done back in 2011: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/libntl.git/commit/debian/rules?id=bac15db8073856e14e20eaecdc5423eaf404cdc8 but I don't see a particular reason for it, so it would be good if it were fixed.
