Should we add ORBit-2 as a required dependency? Okay, the issue is now fixed. First, answering the question, no, ORBit2 should not be listed as a dependency, because it isn't a direct dependency. Here's what I did instead. For Gnumeric, I had to juggle the dependencies anyway due to the dependencies changing in libgnomeprint. The dependencies now say libgnomeui then libgnomeprintui and libgsf. More importantly, I put a note in the libgnomeprint instructions about installing the package into a non-GNOME2 environment. The note is x-included, and I will be putting this note into all the GNOME-2 packages that don't explicitly end up calling ORBit2 down the dependency chain. This will forever end any confusion, no matter who tries to install whatever GNOME2 package into a non-GNOME environment. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 14:59:00 up 39 days, 14:32, 2 users, load average: 0.23, 0.08, 0.02 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

There is a huge difference here. Much of GNOME will need to be installed to satisfy the dependency. Perhaps. I haven't followed it completely through yet. In any case, its a good check on the depedencies. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I've been thinking about this, and perhaps the easiest thing to do is just substitute then for the , in the list of depends. Then, folks would install them in the required order. :-) Perhaps. I haven't followed it completely through yet. In any case, its a good check on the depedencies. Yes, it will be. You'll probably end up installing anywhere between 12-15 GNOME packages. And then some of Gnumeric's functionality still won't work unless you install the GNOME help stuff including Yelp. This needs to be added to Gnumeric's optional depends. With you only installing the stuff explicitly required, we should be able to get a good idea what all needs to be added to the Gnumeric depends. I've read (in some BLFS lists) that Gnumeric has some trouble if a GNOME desktop is not installed. I suppose we'll find out how accurate those reports are. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 18:01:00 up 15 days, 17:34, 3 users, load average: 0.25, 0.17, 0.11 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
