It was pointed out on Greg's DIY-Linux list that make can be used to print a dependency list - not nearly so beautifully as Nico's dependency graph, but as a useful list.
I think it should be possible to generate the makefile directly from the BLFS Book XML, but I'm not competent to do this myself. A sample makefile was suggested here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-hackers/2001-May/msg00120.html All that is needed is a simple list in the form, e.g.: libmng: libjpeg lcms for each package and a blank list for those with no deps. libjpeg: lcms: bc: all wrapped up with a bit of makefile magic. You can then type: 'make libmng', and get a list in the right order to build. Anyone suggest how to do this?
