It will fail, but in a non-obvious way. Here's the relevant part of the
build log after applying your patch and removing icon-slicer from the
system:
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar-artwork/cursor/sugar'
image-dir=../../cursor/sugar --output-dir=../../cursor/sugar
../../cursor/sugar/sugar.cursortheme
/bin/bash: image-dir=../../cursor/sugar: No such file or directory
make[3]: [sugar.stamp] Error 127 (ignored)
Let's take a look at the corresponding make rule:
sascha.si...@xo-bine:~/sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar-artwork$ grep -B 1 -A 2
ICON_SLICER cursor/sugar/Makefile.am
sugar.stamp: $(sugar_images) $(THEMEGEN) sugar.cursortheme
$(ICON_SLICER) --image-dir=$(IMAGE_DIR) --output-dir=$(OUTPUT_DIR)
$(IMAGE_DIR)/sugar.cursortheme
touch sugar.stamp
Since ICON_SLICER is never set, $(ICON_SLICER) will expand to the empty
string. So the line make tries to execute is:
--image-dir=../../cursor/sugar --output-dir=../../cursor/sugar
../../cursor/sugar/sugar.cursortheme
A leading minus means "ignore the exit status of this command" and will
be removed prior to executing the command. Apparently the second minus is
stripped as well, so make will try to execute
image-dir=../../cursor/sugar --output-dir=../../cursor/sugar
../../cursor/sugar/sugar.cursortheme
and ignore the exit status.
See Debian #555963 for what will happen at runtime if icon-slicer doesn't work
(or isn't installed).
