Description Thierry Lelegard 2008-03-12 17:15:32 UTC 
This enhancement request relates to package chmlib-0.39-5.fc8

Context
-------
The package chmlib, as delivered with Fedora, does not contain a few
utilities which are present on other distributions. These chmlib utilities
are used by other utilities like chm2pdf (not yet included in Fedora).

The most commonly used missing tool is extract_chmLib.

As a result, software like chm2pdf are reported as broken on Fedora
(while OK on Debian or Ubuntu).

Solution
--------
The solution is quite simple: run chmlib's configure with
option --enable-examples

This option generates the following additional utilities, to be included
in chmlib package:

/usr/bin/chm_http
/usr/bin/enum_chmLib
/usr/bin/enumdir_chmLib
/usr/bin/extract_chmLib
/usr/bin/test_chmLib

Patch
-----
The attached patch against chmlib.spec includes the missing utilities:
- add option --enable-examples in configure
- add generated files from /usr/bin in package

Patch to chmlib.spec
Comment 2 Patrice Dumas 2008-03-18 13:16:42 UTC 
looks good to me.

I'd prefer to have chm_http in a separate package, together with
one of the enum since both do the same.

I contacted the debian packager to ask him to avoid patching the 
sources such that it is easier to use his patch.
Comment 3 Peter Lemenkov 2008-03-18 13:29:04 UTC 
Agree - we need to recompile it woth utilities support. Unfortunately my access
to Fedora's buildsystem is limited now so I can't do it by myself in the nearest
future.

Patrice, could you, please, fix spec-files and rebuild chmlib?
