The file givtypestring.h was added in Givaro after the last release. You need the current master branch of Givaro to compile the current master branch of fflas-ffpack.

Then the configure check "checking for GIVARO usability" should be updated.

Also, is there a maintenance branch of fflas-fpack that can be targeted for pull requests if one wants to use a released version of Givaro?

[ClementPernet]

I fixed the dependency to givaro v4.1.2 and incremented givaro upstream version to 4.1.2alpha.
As for the presence of a maintenance branch, we don't have one, as we keep releasing givaro and fflas-ffpack synchronously.

[ClementPernet]

Let me mark this issue as wontfix, and close it at the next release of givaro and fflas-ffpack which we are working on.

Thanks!
