Sun May 6 23:45:52 UTC 2018 - stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de
- Removed shared library header from non-shared devel package
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec 5 15:22:21 UTC 2017 - eich@suse.com
- Build shared library version of ngspice using the multibuild
feature.
Building the shared library version of ngspice requires a separate
build which doesn't build the binaries and doesn't allow to build
with the X Window System UI.
Also it requires the package to be split in several sub-packages:
* a package containing most of the ngspice binaries.
* a package containing the shared library and a development
package for applications using the ngspice API.
* a code model package for Xspice and a development package
for code models.
* a scripts package
- Added -fpie and -pie to CFLAGS to ensure position independent
executables.
