I believe Wayne has included everything that is officially part of the current gnome release. That has been regarded as 'desirable' for some time, so no worries.
Apparently, epiphany-extensions isn't part of the official 3.2.whichever release - its one of my main reasons for building any of gnome: how else can I watch youtube while I'm rebuilding firefox? :-) As if I didn't already know it, gnome is NOT targetted at me, although ubuntu's previous release (anathema to gnome true believers) works not-too-inadequately on my netbook. Meanwhile - the hunk that requires autoreconf (or automake, I guess) has exactly one result - it moves autoopts.pc to /usr/lib/pkgconfig from /usr/share/pkgconfig. Both are perfectly valid places, so no need to do that with modern (as in at least the last 4 years) pkg-config. There is one further consequence of building statically: most of the tests fail to compile because they can't find the static library : 2 out of 22 passed, instead of 39 out of 40. So, it's not for anyone who thinks the tests are important (if such a person exists). Will commit the patch shortly. Thanks for your report - understanding the problem was eye-opening. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
