That's what I meant (for "do the current instructions need gtkdocize" I've already completed), and for some of those (few) that do, I have the deps and can see if dropping -i solves things. The list of those where gtkdocize is needed but I might not have the deps for a full build is on another machine, will report back later. ĸen -- Lu-Tze had long considered that everything happens for a reason, except possibly football. -- The Thief Of Time -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
