Howdy! After spending a frustrating couple of weeks trying to build Gnome 2.18.3 the Linux From Scratch way, I thought I'd "cheat" and let Garnome do the work for me.
It's great, but I notice it's building some packages that I already have installed, such as Xft and Xrender. It seems to be finding and using the other X.org packages OK. Now, I'm old-school and I still build my major platforms (X11, Gnome, KDE) in their own separate branches of the /usr hierarchy, so I have Xft and the like in /usr/X11R7/lib. pkg-config knows to look in /usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig, and that directory is included in /etc/ld.so.conf, so I know those libraries are visible. What would cause garnome to miss the fact that those programs already exist, and try to install its own copy of them locally? I'm sure I will have more stupid questions as the project continues, but that's the only one so far. -- Peter B.
