The problem comes from the fact that building doxygen means also building doxygen's documentation doxygen_manual.pdf, for which all possible applications of doxygen are executed. This means that graphviz and latex need to be installed. Graphviz then pulls in most of gnome. A way out would be to have a minimal doxygen package without documentation and almost no dependencies, and to offer a separate doxygen+documentation package. You could try to persuade the doxygen maintainer to do this, or make your own modification to the doxygen.info file. BTW, there are still dependencies missing from doxygen: qt3 is used, but not in the dependency list, as far as I see. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
