librsvg is required to load SVGs into GTK pixbufs. I had one GTK application constantly crashing because it tried to load the icons but could not. It should be a USE=svg flag on GTK+, if I'm not mistaken about the concepts. Reproducible: Always
Doesn't it use cairo for that these days?
that would be doable for gdk-pixbuf I guess.
(I don't know I'm basically a layman in these things) At least the application that I use has complained "Couldn't recognize the image file format for file" It has been written with glade, maybe that has something to do with it. You can look at the app yourself: svn co https://xournal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xournal/trunk/xournalpp xournal cd xournal ./configure ./make ./src/xournalpp
(In reply to comment #2) > that would be doable for gdk-pixbuf I guess. Does librsvg perhaps depend on gtk-pixbuf?
At most, librsvg could be a PDEPEND of gdk-pixbuf, depending on svg useflag. Anything other won't work, due to circular deps.
Shouldn't the gdk-pixbuf dependency be removed from librsvg and then gdk-pixbug made depend on librsvg as suggested above?
