Why is vlc_interface.h not installed?

[jonas]

Hi,

I was trying to play around with a VLC module (out-of-tree) but ran into some problems.
I installed the libvlccore-dev 2.2.0~rc2-2 package on my Debian (sid) machine but I noticed that the vlc_interface.h header file was missing from that package.
One person wrote a bug report to Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=768808) and got the reply that the header was included in noinst_HEADERS in the Makefile.

That header is needed by the module example here: https://wiki.videolan.org/Hacker_Guide/ ... tub_module

Is there any specific reason to not install this header? To me it seems quite vital for out-of-tree modules to have it.

It depends on config.h which cannot be installed.
