Public bug reported:
For using software libraries in downstream projects, CMake configuration
files and pkg-config configuration files are very helpful. They not only
include the locations of the library binaries and header files, but also
compiler and linker flags that are required when using the library.
When building and installing Armadillo from source, the CMake build
system provides the CMake configuration and version files at the
locations
${prefix}/share/Armadillo/CMake/ArmadilloConfig.cmake
${prefix}/share/Armadillo/CMake/ArmadilloConfigVersion.cmake
and the pkg-config configuration file at
${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/armadillo.pc
However, these files are missing from the APT distribution and are not
installed when executing
apt install libarmadillo-dev
This requires downstream modules to implement their own
`FindArmadillo.cmake`, which is error-prone and does not propagate
information like compiler flags and software version numbers.
This issue is present on
Ubuntu Eoan (19.10) with package libarmadillo-dev (1:9.600.5+dfsg-1)
and
Ubuntu Bionic (18.04LTS) with package libarmadillo-dev
(1:8.400.0+dfsg-2)
Please include the CMake and pkg-config configuration files into the
distribution of the `libarmadillo-dev` package.
