Surely we can skip those in the first instance: theres no requirement to install all the headers and stati libraries, we can choose to just install: * the library * the modules * the *.st files * gst itself and strip * *.h * *.la * *.a - sure the library wont be usable by other packages immediately, but we'd get to find out about build problems, and perhaps look at how we can build a gnu-smalltalk-gtk ( using blox-gtk) version for folk that want that (I do) as as as gnu-smalltalk-tk for the tk folk, without doing a full rebuild. Perhaps Paolo will have some ideas on that. Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
