Hi all,
I need some development packages to build some programs, but I cannot seem to find them in Arch. I was wondering if anyone knew if they existed.
Examples are:
freetype2-devel
libjpeg-devel
xorg-x11-devel
...
Obviously if you ignore the -devel part, I can almost always find every single package in Arch. For example freetype and libjpeg and xorg are here, but their -devel counterparts are missing. As these are required to build packages, and Arch sometimes requires us to do so, how can they be missing?
Thanks

You obviously didn't read my post. -devel packages aren't needed in Arch. Headers are in the packages.

I just missed your post! Was about to come here and thank you for the solution

The packages in Arch that do have the "-devel" part in their name are usually "unstable" packages.
