Hi all, This is mostly to Ken, as he created the Jasper page, but anyone else with comments are welcomed to reply.
My question is: Why are the dependencies of Jasper "recommended" instead of "optional"? I perhaps can see libjpeg support being recommended, but I cannot see why. It is linked to the jasper library, and perhaps it is expected to be there by applications that link to the library. To me, the X dependency isn't even really a dependency, because it will be there if you have the GLUT libs and only the GLUT libs are really required, and that is for one program built by the package: jiv, which apparently is just an image viewer. Can anyone explain why we are recommending that this image viewer be built when the Jasper package is installed? -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.24] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 11:55:00 up 17 days, 4:18, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
