Right. We've had this discussion with respects to gnome many times. Intltool is actually like autoconf. A developer needs to run intltool to setup the files in the source tree. But all that's needed at build time is XML::Parser. The only time you'd need intltool is if you needed to rebuild the autotools. I figured I'd be consistent with the rest of the book and require intltool. If we decide that what I've said above is true, we can swoop through and fix things pretty easily. But I can confirm, and so has Randy and David Jensen, that you can build all the things that look for intltool with only XML::Parser. I think I'll start another thread about that. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
