1. libgnomeprint says that Pango and Fontconfig are required. This is redundant since Pango requires Fontconfig.
2. Cairo does not actually require X to install. It really just needs Fontconfig - it can be built without png, which requires adding "--enable-png=no" to configure. This would also necessitate modifying that GTK+-2 instructions to specify that GTK+-2 needs X. I still have yet to test all the possibilities here - for example, GTK+-2 requires Pango built with Cairo support, but since Cairo can be built without X, will GTK still build if you install X at some point after Pango and Cairo, or do both of them need to be built with X support as well? 3. There is a redundancy in Freetype instructions for unpacking the freetype-docs tarball. It says to do "--strip-components=2 -C docs", but it unpacks into the "docs" dir in the freetype source tree by default anyway. This can be changed to just "--strip-components=1" without the "-C", or alternatively a note saying that the freetype-docs tarball can be unpacked from the same place as the freetype source tarball, and will unpack into the same freetype-[version] dir. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
