The short answer is "yes". The longer answer...
(1) Excluding certain packages To exclude package "P", rename it ".P". For an explanation, see the filter statements in the top level Makefile. Caveat... If package "P" is a dependency for package "Q", you will need to: * Edit the GAR Makefile for package "Q" and remove package "P" from the LIBDEPS list. * Figure out how to satisfy that dependency externally. Your mileage may vary based upon version compatibility. (2) Firefox If your distro provides both firefox *and* firefox development support, ./bootstrap/firefox will not be built. To see this: * cd to top of GARNOME src tree * vi `grep -l firefox */*/Makefile` Examine the scripting foo in the LIBDEPS lines. bootstrap/firefox is added to the dependency list only if the scripting foo cannot locate what it needs. See gar.conf.mk for the definition of PKG_CONFIG_PATH. -Joseph ================================================================== On Fri, 2006-09-15 at 08:17 -0400, David Barron wrote: > In general I'm very pleased and impressed with Garnome.
