I think you should also make sure that gtk then becomes a dependency of the resulting package to prevent accidental removal of gtk. You also need to consider that doing this means that users would see different behaviour from what they believe is the same package. It could be confusing, and possibly complicate support and dealing with bugs. Personally I think it's a horrible idea to inspect the environment and make use of stuff that happens to be there. I don't like it when it's done in Makefiles and I think it's an even worse idea to do it in PKGBUILDs. That's just my opinion though. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus@therning.org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
