Description:
oprofile package does not include headers and libraries needed for compiling apps depending on it. Specifically I'm trying to build opxml (binary allowing access to oprofile from an Eclipse plugin), the additional required headers/libraries is specified in [1].

Please indicate if this request is inappropriate, I'll then create an AUR package (oprofile-dev or something) for the purpose.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
0.9.6-2
* config and/or log files etc.
None required

Hello,

I suspect that op_bfd.h, one of the development headers, should be included in the oprofile package as well.
It is required by AMD CodeAnalyst when building.

Actually it does seem odd that oprofile package would include header files that aren't installed by Oprofile's make install. This holds both for the files mentioned in the ticket and op_bfd.h... I am not sure what the best course of action is.

Not all of the header files are included in the package. Example: op_bfd.h (included) includes bfd_support.h (not included).

I've added the missing header files in oprofile-0.9.7-4. Except for opagent.h which is installed by default, the header files are now in /usr/include/oprofile/ because some of them have very common names.
