Hi, I finally managed to install a running OLA-Webserver with an ENTTEC DMX USB Pro. I can change the colours of a spot when I push the virtual sliders. So far so good.
But when I want to compile a C++ Program, the libs are missing. There's no file like 'libola.pc' in my filesystem, so I can't include e.g. <ola/DmxBuffer.h>.
It's a fresh Lubuntu 22.04 and I installed the binary (version 0.10.8) via deb.
Could anyone tell me how to get the libraries, please?

Half an hour after posting the question I found the desired package at https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy/ola, installed it with apt install libola-dev and everything worked fine.
Problem solved!

Excellent, glad you've sorted it, yeah most Debian based systems have a separate -dev package with the headers and .pc files etc in, so people who don't want to compile from scratch don't need to install the extra stuff.
