Thanks, David for the heads up. I will change this because it does
appear to be required if you have the BLFS version of GNOME-VFS
installed. I find it easier to check configure.in than any other
method for determining dependencies.
It's almost impossible to use the output from configure, as you
don't know if there is a switch you can use to enable/disable
something. And trying to look at a configure script is hairy as
can be because of the 10 zillion lines of code.
Here is relevant configure.in stuff. To me, this is easiest, and
more importantly, most definitive proof:
dnl Check for the > 2.9 gnome_vfs api
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for new gnome-vfs-mime API])
if pkg-config --atleast-version 2.9.2 gnome-vfs-2.0; then
AC_DEFINE([HAVE_NEW_GNOME_VFS_MIME_API],[1],
[Define if you have the new style gnome-vfs mime api (>2.9)])
result=yes
gnomedesktop_pkgs="gnome-desktop-2.0 >= $GNOME_DESKTOP_REQUIRED"
else
result=no
fi
10 lines and it is relatively easy to determine if it is required!
Thanks again, David!
