Package install check missing usr/lib/...def file

Package install check missing usr/lib/...def file

[Brian Inglis]

Hi folks,

Trying to update libidn2, but both arch get:

 >>> Checking packages for unexpected, missing or duplicate files
*** Warning: Packages are missing files:
-usr/lib/libidn2-0.def
*** ERROR: Packages are missing files:

$ l libidn2-2.3.1-1.x86_64/**/*.def
libidn2-2.3.1-1.x86_64/build/lib/libidn2-0.def
libidn2-2.3.1-1.x86_64/inst/usr/lib/libidn2-0.def

Is the fix just to add into src_install:

rm $B/lib/*.def

as I see no other def files under usr/lib?

probably it is the easiest

what is the content ?
Is the import lib exporting the symbols ?

Probably the build system is mixing Cygwin and Windows
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html

All rm made the build fail, set in PKG_IGNORE worked!

It looks like all the correct outputs are generated,
but have not yet tried using it in actual packages.

Maybe assumes it needs kept around to build with.

Thanks for the suggestions and questions.
