Hi I was pretending to emerge emacs to check dependencies and I got amazed when I saw this: # emerge -p emacs [ebuild N ] media-libs/giflib-4.1.4 [ebuild N ] dev-libs/libIDL-0.8.6 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/orbit-2.12.3 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libbonobo-2.10.1 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libglade-2.5.1 [ebuild N ] media-libs/libart_lgpl-2.3.17 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.10.2 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gconf-2.10.1-r1 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-mime-data-2.4.2 [ebuild N ] app-admin/fam-2.7.0-r2 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.10.1-r2 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libgnome-2.10.1-r1 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libbonoboui-2.10.1 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-keyring-0.4.4 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.10.1 [ebuild N ] x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme-0.8 [ebuild N ] x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-2.10.1 [ebuild N ] x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.5 [ebuild N ] x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.10.2 [ebuild N ] x11-libs/startup-notification-0.8 [ebuild N ] app-text/scrollkeeper-0.3.14-r1 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gnome-desktop-2.10.2 [ebuild N ] x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3-r3 [ebuild N ] app-editors/emacs-21.4-r1
my USE flags got only doc because this is a linux box without any graphical interfaces to server some utilities ..... could some one explain why emacs needs so many graphical parts ? -- An application asked: "Requeires Windows 9x, NT4 or better", so I´ve installed Linux -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
