According to the changelog * Mon Nov 28 2005 Mike A. Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0.99.2-6 - Added Requires: cpp as xrdb requires it for proper operation (#174302) Which leads to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=174302 which is just plain horrid. But from a quick look it is common to all distros. What happens if we remove it?

Well, it looks like Ubuntu tried, and had to revert It looks like they just removed the dependency rather than a replacement. xrdb supports -cpp filename preprocessor to use [/usr/bin/cpp] so a smaller replacement is a possibilty here, tcc or mcpp The other option is to just ensure that resources do not need preprocessing. I'm not sure if that is viable but isn't xrdb simply a thing that happens at x startup? Once into X everything is ok, right? ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: c preprocessor.
This is good, not bad. Adding glibc-headers is the proper response. The XO is really really close to having normal and standard tools for software development. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
