sonLib for Debian
=================

SonLib is originally shipped with a code copy of quicktree.  To avoid
duplicated code the Debian package links against the separately packaged
quicktree.

The shared library libsonlib.so already links libquicktree.so.2, so
programs that link with -lsonlib get the TreeREP symbols
(neighbour_joining_buildtree and friends) automatically and no extra
flags are needed.

The static archive libsonlib.a still leaves the QuickTree symbols
unresolved.  When linking against it you need

    LIBS += -lquicktree

and, if your code also includes quicktree headers directly,

    CFLAGS += -I/usr/include/quicktree

The C test suite uses the CuTest framework from libcutest-dev.  The copy
that upstream keeps in externalTools is not part of the repacked source
tarball.
