I do the same thing (set them all before starting). I've thought numerous times about putting all the stuff in the pre-installation section, but then thought it to be redundant. It *must* be on the pages where it is actually installed/used. Furthermore, only ORBit, libbonobo and GConf are built before desktop-file-utils is listed. So, if you follow the book and build GNOME in the order presented by the book, it is only those three packages that could be giving trouble. My biggest concern is for folks that jump around the book, install a piece of GNOME here, a piece of GNOME there, and then come back and finish a full GNOME installation. The reason one would do that is because they might build GIMP or AbiWord or any number of other packages that have GNOME dependencies. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 15:45:00 up 130 days, 1:09, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.18 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
