You need to explicitly disable a dependency in Avahi if it isn't present. You are correct that both dbus-python and pygtk are required to remove --disable-python. Nothing that I know requires the module so maybe that's why it's disabled by default. As for why dbus-python is a recommended dep and pygtk optional, I can't say. Since Qt4 is optional, it makes no sense to enable it by default, and given that nothing explicitly requires libavahi-qt4 it's disabled. Qt3 isn't even present in the book. Epiphany requires GTK+3 library so it's enabled by default and GTK+3 is in recommended deps. I don't know the real reason behind enabling GTK+2 library by default though. -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
