Or just simply put in parenthesis saying how it was tested. For example: 10 SBU (includes building and installing the SWIG bindings) 155 MB (includes building and installing the SWIG bindings) That way, folks have the necessary resource information to build all the components. Hopefully, everyone would know that it would be less SBU and disk space to install without the SWIG bindings. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
