Comment (by bdubbs@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 pierre.labastie]:
 > Well, there is a circular dependency at the recommended level: graphiz
 recommends librsvg which recommends vala. But graphviz can be built
 without any of its recommended deps, and vala then builds OK. Maybe this
 information could be added to the vala page.

 As an experiment, I was able to build graphviz on a pristine LFS (chrrot)
 build.  I had to add --enable-swig=no but it did build.

 The problem is, why should a user have to do that if the only thing that
 is needed is vala and if valadoc, Vala Documentation Tool, is not needed
 or wanted by the user?

 Depending on the build order and user needs, it may require the user to
 build graphviz twice.  I think this is something we need to avoid if
 possible.
