We've had this conversation in the past, but I thought I'd bring it up again. Many of the gnome packages and a few others look for intltool during configure. As such, many of the packages in the book have required dependencies on it. But I believe that intltool is only used if you're rebuilding the autotools and all you need as a builder is XML::Parser. I've done successful builds without intltool installed. I believe Randy has, too, and David Jensen said the same last time this came up. Here's what it even says in the README:
The intltool package has a script, intltoolize, which copies the various scripts and does the other magic to your module. So users building from tarballs don't need intltool, only folks building from cvs. (This is modelled on gettextize.) So, can we change all intltool required dependencies to XML::Parser? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
