Package for Debian/Ubuntu? about simdutf

[jaceksan]

I downloaded Fedora packages, extracted include/lib64, and copied it to /usr/include resp. /usr/lib.
Now I am able to install the latest Turbodbc (4.11).
But it's cumbersome...

You have opened an issue at the wrong location. We just maintain the library, we do not distribute the packages. Your Linux distribution does.

Fedora and FreeBSD have a simdutf package. If you find it inconvenient that Debian does not, and I can see why that would be the case, you need to raise the issue with Debian... or offer to provide the package yourself. My understanding is that it is not too difficult to find someone to build and submit the package, but I personally do not know anyone who works on Debian.

The tool you are using (turbodbc) could also bundle simdutf directly.

I am closing this issue. Please raise your issue with Debian.

I understand and agree.
Before I or anyone else get simdutf to Debian repos - could you, please, describe how to install simdutf from source to Debian?
I would appreciate it ;-)

I don't know anything about Debian packages, but simdutf can be installed the standard CMake way: configure, build, install. It goes like this...

cmake -B build
cmake --build build
cmake --install build

I followed the instruction on debain and was able to build simdutf. However, while installing turbodbc, following is encountered. Is there a way around it?
