Re: [gentoo-dev] LibPNG Problems :(

[Spider]

Sorry to say this...
.... you, and the script.... are wrong.

This is a -WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED- limitation of the script.

All your cute kde programs link to kdelibs and qt...
kdelibs and qt link to libpng....

so, all your kde programs link to libpng through qt and kdelibs....

re-emerging qt and kdelibs will solve almost all kde programs.

continue with the same for gtk-perl.. it links gtk and gdk-pixbuf,
gdk-pixbuf links libpng ....

gimp links libpng for obvious reasons (unless you have USE="-png" )
gnome-libs ditto (gnome libs handles the menu and icons in png format)
fnlib imlib gdk-pixbuf and fltk are all wrapper-libraries for graphics.
very common libraries that use libpng to provide png support to other
programs so you won't have to update every program around when you want
to update the link to libpng... isn't that good of them?

that leaves : 
x11-wm/WindowMaker


Try it, emerge theese things and see for yourself.. how many of the
binaries will remain?

Yes, now I'm irritated that you didn't read my emails close enough, 
I mentioned this before.
