There are many situations where no building or compiling is required. I have seen, as reported, cpanminus indications that make is required and gcc too when needed. That is good. I understand that in some cases the installation of make and gcc would avoid some debugging and even reduce inefficiency. So in my case it 's just a matter of having more fine grained control and also avoid the extra disk space required by make and gcc. It cpanm works well with only make and gcc, but build-essentials would be a more comprehensive approach. So, I vote for non-hard dependency Cheers Thank you João > > Cheers, > gregor > > -- > .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer > https://www.debian.org > : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 > AA06 > `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation > Europe >`- NP: The Doors: I Looked At You >
