[Mageia-dev] Generic 64-bit building question

[Radu-Cristian FOTESCU]

Thanks. So I've got from 2 answers:


> You should use libmagick-devel

and:

> Its' spec file must contain a virtual provides :
> Provides:  libpoppler-qt4-devel

Indeed, libmagick-devel, libwmf-devel, libchm-devel, libpoppler-qt4-devel, etc. do expand/match/find_provides correctly on 64-bit too!

But then *why* some names have to be written as: 
qt4-devel and *not* libqt4-devel
python-devel and *not* libpython-devel
?
Isn't this an inconsistency?

Moreover, excuse me, but I find it stupid to have a 64-bit lib called `libksane-devel`.  
This is its full 64-bit name, *not* the name from BuildRequires! 
It's another inconsistency IMHO.

Of course, there is urpmq --provides to find out what resolves to the needed devel library, but still...

Thank you all!
