Description Alessandro Di Federico 2013-01-21 21:42:55 UTC

Hi, I'm on amd64 and I'm trying to build icedtea without any binary package at all (i.e. icedtea-bin), so I went for gcj-jdk. However gcj-jdk depends on gcc[gcj gtk], and the gtk USE flag pulls (in combination with multilib and gcj) a pair of emul-linux-x86-* packages, which I prefer not have on my system.

I suggest to add a USE flag on gcj-jdk to enable gcc[gtk], so in case you don't need it you can disable it and avoid emul-linux-x86-* packages.

I've tried to simply remove the USE dep from gtk in gcj-jdk and everything works fine so far.

There is now an X useflag for gcj-jdk as for other jvms with the same meaning. No changes to icedtea are required as headless gcj-jdk suffice for bootstrapping.

  Bump and make gcc[gtk] dep optional. #453422

Thanks for the report.
