The problem with --disable-gtk-peer is that it works for the compilation, but GTK must be installed anyway, otherwise aclocal fails.
In practice, I would have to install GTK-2 just to be able to configure the package _not_ to use GTK-2. To avoid this, I used to remove the GTK, GLIB, and LIBART stuff in the configure.in file (from line 121 to line 148) before aclocal and eventually configured classpath with --disable-gtk.peer. It's a hack , but it works for me. -Patrik Stephen Crawley wrote: > > Mark Wielaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thu, 2003-10-23 at 19:52, Dalibor Topic wrote: > > > apparently the configure.in in CVs is broken.
