Richard, no need to do that. Just look at the files (png) within /usr/share/icons/hicolor. I do not have many on this build (very little gnome, no kde, very little xfce) and mine come from cups, evince, gimp, gtk3, inkscape, libreoffice, parole, qupzilla, vlc, xfburn and xine. I guess some packages will install their icons even if the directory is not present, but without hicolor-icon-theme itself the index presumably cannot be created. I'm building hicolor-icon-theme shortly after I build gobject-introspection and dbus-glib in the expectation that it should be available for anything that wants to use it. So, for your build-order you are correct that h-i-t did not create that directory, because it already existed. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings. After that everything is a duck as far as I'm concerned. -- Monstrous Regiment -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
