Umm, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/longindex.html where you will find that intltool-0.50 is in the book. My understanding is that intltool needs to be installed for one of the packages in xorg (xkeyboard-config), and I assume that anyone who needs to build accountsservice (indeed, anyone who is using D-BUS) will have installed xorg, and thus intltool, by the time they get to accountsservice. But, people take different paths through the book. Perhaps I should add intltool as a dep for this package - what route did you take that brought you to it (e.g. what requires accountsservice) ? I've just had a horrible thought: I hope you're not treating BLFS as 'build all the packages, in the order in which they appear in the book' ? You need to work out *what* to build, and then review the dependencies of each package to find the best order for your needs. In general, anything which went into the book for gnome-3, such as this package, may still be a bit rough around the edges. Mostly, I think there are *too many* dependencies listed (if anything is required or recommended for package 'foo', it shouldn't be separately listed as a dep for another package which requires or recommends 'foo'), otherwise we end up with the way gnome-shell looks at the moment (several lines of 'required' dependencies). 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
