Built libomemo as a dynamically linked library

[fortysixandtwo]

Hi,

as a part of the DebianOnMobile team I have packaged libomemo [1] (the goal ultimatelly is having lurch in Debian).
The library has been accepted into the unstable branch of Debian.

I changed the Makefile to

• built a dynamically linked library under the target shared
• add a pkg-config file similar to how it is done in [2] for axc
• add a install target
• add CPPFLAGS to compilation which is used in debian for hardening

[2] gkdr/axc#17

Cheers

PS: Would you be interested in carrying the debian/ folder upstream? If so, I can prepare another pull request

Great news!

This is a bad idea. I recommend to not do this.

Thanks for your comment.
Why do you think that it's not a good idea?

You may ask for detailed reply in debian-mentors mailing list. In short: it complicates maintenance of libraries and software in Debian and all its derivatives (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Raspbian, etc.).

Some useful and laconic information with recommendations for upstream developers you may find at Debian wiki:

I wasn't aware of this particular issue, as some projects I have packaged, already carried such a folder and I've also seen PRs for lurch and carbons adding the debianization.

But it's good to know, thanks!

Cool, thank you! I'll merge it before the next release. Seems I have to clean up the makefile a bit anyway...
