Bug Description

Binary package hint: libmorph-dev

I include warp2.h from libmorph-dev
warp2.h includes warp.h
warp.h includes braindead_msvc.h
braindead_msvc.h doesn't exist

It should be possible to include warp2.h without compile errors.

I have a work around that requires root access: comment out the line in warp.h that includes braindead_msvc.h

This appears in the version on Ubuntu 9.04 (which I am currently using) and the package in the 9.10 repo (1:20090606)

Note that braindead_msvc.h is in the source package but not the dev package.

I think the maintainers may just need to add braindead_msvc.h to pkginclude_HEADERS in libmorph/Makefile.am, line 14 to fix the problem, but I haven't tested this myself.
