I do object to the BuildRequires settings that are made in some spec files making them not compilable. Yesterday I compiled SFEmplayer. Two of the dependencies refused to compile due to lacking dependencies. It turned out that both of these spec files had SUNWncurses set as a BuildRequires thing, just because Vermillion is gonna have it (one time).
I think this is wrong! You can't expect people to run the latest SXCE (snv_99) and have SFElibcdio.spec and SFElame.spec refuse to compile. Snv_99 does not(!) come with SUNWncurses. I changed both spec files to require SFEncurses and both compiled ok (of course they did). Why do we use this policy of setting dependencies that are not part of the latest dev releases? -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: 01D2433D ++ http://nagual.nl/ + SunOS sxce snv99 ++
