Description
Like a lot of libraries, there is a package with the suffix -dev who includes the header files but for libtomcrypt and libtommath they doesn't exists
Steps to Reproduce

The headers are not included.

Additional Information
- This is not the job of the library maintainers but of the package maintainers of the distro.
- The arch version seems fine. Go to https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libtomcrypt/ click on

did I miss something?
Actually, the Arch packaging is likely not correct, as it is including the development headers in the main package, while they should be in a libtomcrypt-dev (or libtomcrypt-devel in some distros) sub-package. I have no specific Arch knowledge, but this is how it's done in other distros. So yes, this is a bug, but this is an Arch bug, not a libtomcrypt bug.

There are no separate development packages in arch. Sometimes they are split up into <project> and <project>-headers, but that's only done for huge/complex packages.
I stand corrected. My lack of knowledge about Arch has now been fully demonstrated ;-)
I'm closing this as there was no action for too long.
