Bug#478013: libxul-dev should depend on libgtk2.0-dev
Package: libxul-dev Version: 1.8.1.14-2 The package libxul-dev includes the file /usr/include/xulrunner/gtkembedmoz/gtkmozembed.h which #include's gtk/gtk.h, but it may not be installed, as libxul-dev doesn't depend on the package that provides that file (libgtk2.0-dev). As it is now, packages which depend on libxul-dev need to know they have to depend on libgtk2.0-dev even though they never use the header files themselves. cmn -- Carlos Martín Nieto | http://cmartin.tk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Actually, if they use the /usr/include/xulrunner/gtkembedmoz/gtkmozembed.h header, they must already build-depend on libgtk2.0-dev themselves because you cant use the gtkmozembed API without using the gtk API yourself (you at least need to run the gtk main loop). OTOH, the gtkmozembed API is not mandatory and not the sole purpose of the libxul-dev package. The most I could do would be to add a recommends, and that would change nothing for buildds.

Except when you run the main loop from managed code and the C code is a filler for some missing capabilities in the bindings (granted, that is not that usual, but it's my case).

Fair enough. cmn -- Carlos Martín Nieto | http://cmartin.tk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
