Hi Nicolas, The files form this other package are mostly binaries in a directory structure. I have to create an additional package which works with the other package's(the dependency) installed directory structure. Also you hinted at something I didn't know before, which was that packages need to be additionally exported to the sysroot and this was typically done through the -dev package. Can you point me at where this is documented? I am having a huge difficulty trying to find these conventions in the manual or by googling.
