LibDevil package request
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

LibDevil is a Developer Image Library used for working with images in different programing languages like C++.This library is a must have for game devs that use Lua programming language in combination with Love2d. You cannot build other versions of Love2d without this library ! Why the need of older versions you may ask, you need them to run old code, I want to upgrade a project that uses love2d 0.9.1 and I cannot build it from source(the ony way to install it as it's old) without the libdevil and libdevil-dev. I tried to install libdevil from source but it's not recognized in the system paths

That is something you would need to investigate regardless of whether or not this were to be accepted for inclusion, since it would need to properly utilize our system paths. Solus only supports one version of Love, so I'm not following your argument about building "other" versions of it without the library.

Closing due to lack of response.
