[SOLVED] How to get the dev files?

Creak · 2013-10-24 05:26:34

Hi!

I'm new to ArchLinux and I'm coming from Debian.
On Debian, I was used to get the development files simply with the command apt-get install <mypackage>-dev
Is there an equivalent of this on ArchLinux?

Thanks!

Yes, the Arch Build System (ABS)

What exactly are you trying to do?
Arch has few foo-devel packages in the repos.

Thanks ewaller, I'll dig into that.

@karol, I'm trying to make an project of mine that I was compiling on Debian. It depends on stuff like gtkmm, pthreads, libxml2, etc...

What Debian splits out into the -dev packages is already included in the regular packages in Arch.

edit, for the record, the -dev package include things like headers, pkgconfig files, etc.

Have you tried using the regular arch packages?

I don't know where pthreads are. I have

/usr/lib/libevent_pthreads-2.0.so.5
/usr/lib/libevent_pthreads-2.0.so.5.1.9
/usr/lib/libevent_pthreads.a
/usr/lib/libevent_pthreads.so
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libevent_pthreads.pc

which belong to the libevent package.

pthread is part of glibc.

I thought header files weren't included because I couldn't find them in Anjuta, but in fact I was missing the base-devel group (I think more specifically of pkg-config)

Much great reading can be done in the bookshelves of /usr/include/

Also, pkgfile is handy - example:

$ pkgfile pthread.h
core/glibc
extra/nacl-toolchain-newlib
community/arm-wince-cegcc-newlib
community/dietlibc
community/gauche
community/mingw32-pthreads

$ pkgfile /usr/include/pthread.h
core/glibc
