Yuck. That means you need perl to build as well? > > >From what I could gather, they also run-time depend on some runtime > tools from gettext.

Because there are users out there who are not using gcc and do not have the whole GNU suite installed. What about this for a crazy idea: What if we split out all the desktop and such into a separate package/tarball that can have whatever dependencies it wants? That way people who want the desktop integration can install this package and those that do not need/want it can just build stock gEDA/gaf? Also, did this GNU gettext dependency make it into PCB as well? -Ales _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
