You still need a bunch of other things when you use gtk. Assuming "you use gtk" via pkg-config, which is the way gtk publishes the platform correct flags anyway:) Using -dead_strip on a binary FOO prunes libs that are not actually used to resolve symbols called from FOO. But it happens *after* FOO is compiled with a full (as published by dependencies) set of libraries (i.e., link 'em all, then remove the useless ones). That cuts down the Depends (runtime requirements) but still means you need the full BuildDepends (in order to have the published flags work at compile-time). Generally speaking, using gtk+2-dev entails pkgconfig (in order to publish flags), glib2-dev, atk1, cairo, glitz, fontconfig2-dev, freetype219, pango1-xft2-ft219-dev, x11-dev, and maybe pixman and/or libgettext8-dev. Take a look at the various gnome packages to see some standard incantations (minimum versions for self-consistent stable gnome release level, etc.) dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
