BLFS 8.1 names gtk-docs as recommended but not required for this build. I do not wish to install gtk-docs as it comes with a lot of dependencies. However I have not been able to build pango without it, even after much editing of files. The problems seem to occur at the automake stage.
Crux uses pango-1.40.11 with a complete set of GNU build tools. It does not need gtk-docs. I thought at first that the Crux devs might have unpacked the original package, run the autogen script on a machine with gtk-docs installed, and then repackaged it. But when I went to the pango site, I found that this later version comes natively with all the build tools, as previous versions did. Unless someone can suggest a sed that will make 1.40.10 buildable without gtk-docs, this package should be reclassified as required in 8.1 but can probably be left as recommended in svr. -- H Russman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
