I'm pretty sure intltool itself isn't used at all. It's like the autotools. Intltool is used to generate the intltool-* files in the source tree. From there, all that's need is perl + XML-Parser to actually do the work. Whatever that is. I haven't been installing intltool for quite a while now, either. The only time I really needed it was when I needed to regenerate the autotools for a gnome package. And then gnome-common is needed to provide gnome-autogen.sh, too. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
