Hello,
So I am doing CMake right now. Just wanted to inform of this issue I ran
into.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable-systemd/general/cmake.html
Under the Recommended section, it lists libarchive-3.4.0.
Recommended is not the same as Optional.
In a few cases (e.g. at least one of the ffmpeg dependencies) an
editor thought that the benefits of a particular dependency meant it
ought to be recommended.
More generally, Recommended means that the package expects it to be
present, but it can be worked around - for configure scripts,
typically a --disable option. Eventually you might wish to do
without some recommended dependencies. But at first it's easier to
regard Recommended as Required.

Thanks Ed and Ken for the responses.
After looking for many of the packages, I am noticing a pattern in some
of the recommended ones start going in circles. Meaning, you keep
digging deeper into a particular package recommendation, or requirement,
they start to loop back to where you started.
I also just ran into Doxygen-1.8.16. There is no mention of GIT being
required, nor even optional, but
