honestly, I still don't quite understand the problem you have, as you've been pretty vague about what problems you encountered in porting GLib on a 'non-linux' platform. dependencies? yes, they are an issue, but unfortunately stuff that is considered "core features" of GLib requires them. GLib maintainers have been very wary about adding dependencies, so you cannot accuse them to be "dependencies happy". if you want to target a specific system you can remove stuff from GLib yourself, by adding switches to configure.in; for instance, you can remove most of the main loop, gmarkup and gkeyfile without really creating much of an hassle; obviously, the resulting library would be completely useless on most of the platforms following the GMAE stack, so I don't think a patch introducing those switches would be applied upstream. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
