Hi! |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Hmm.. from what I can see in the configure-script there are no flag |
| 24 |
--with-gnome _AND_ GNOME is not optional when using Galeon. It's a |
| 25 |
GNOME-browser. Also, the --with-gnome has often been confusing to people |
| 26 |
since it's not whether to build with gnome-support, it's to tell _where_ |
| 27 |
GNOME is installed. --with-gnome=prefix... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
However, I think what's causing the problem here is the |
| 30 |
--enable-gnome-file-selector. Because when that is added Galeon should |
| 31 |
also depend on bonobo (which you might not have installed). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
About your patch, it doesn't seem to be doing what you want it too. It |
| 34 |
disables the --enable-gnome-file-selector for people who don't have |
| 35 |
gnome in there USE-variable but it doesn't fix the deps-problem (which |
| 36 |
in this case is bonobo), so any person who tries to merge galeon with |
| 37 |
gnome in the USE and not having Bonobo installed will have the same |
| 38 |
problems. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
--enable-gnome-file-selector refers to the GNOME_FileSelector |
| 41 |
Bonobo-component which we don't have in portage so the switch is |
| 42 |
pointless. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I've removed the two pointless (one of which doesn't seem to exist) in |
| 45 |
-r3. |

|
| 52 |
As stated above, no :) |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
And in the case of Galeon there is no way to avoid getting all the |
| 55 |
gnome-libs installed since it's a GNOME-browser making heavy use of the |
| 56 |
GNOME platform. If we in the future get the bonobo file browser in |
| 57 |
Portage it should be using the "bonobo" USE-flag, not the GNOME one. |
