I have been trying out a package qucs for electronic circuit
design and simulation.
I can use the software to create a simple design but the simulation fails on a missing
library. I tried compiling qucs from source and freehdl is a dependency. I think
the
problem is with freehdl as I tried and failed to get it to compile.
qucs simulation fails on libfreehdl.la
I think something in gcc or g++ might not be creating this file during compilation and
it might be some kind of policy change?
.la is short for "libtool archive". It is a text based description file
and is not created by GCC. In Fedora's packages, these .la files are not
included because they lead to dependency bloat during compilation. When
you tried to compile freehdl yourself, what happened?
