This should be a forced dependency because the most important programs it creates to manage the printers is entirely gui based. I was not able to run these programs or configure the printer (HP Color Laserjet 3550) without qt3. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge without qt3 flag 2.Run hp-setup 3.Fails to open without qt3 bindings Actual Results: hp-setup doesn't run Expected Results: hp-setup is not command-line, it requires qt3 bindings genstef@gentoo.org 2007-04-07 12:58:20 0000 I am sure you can copy a config instead of using the guy configurator - we give the ability to build without the qt3 depend. But for your pleasure I added an einfo call after installation that writes out to the user that he needs the qt3 use flag for hp-setup to be available. simpledark@gmail.com 2007-04-08 23:42:29 0000 (In reply to comment #1) > I am sure you can copy a config instead of using the guy configurator - we give > the ability to build without the qt3 depend. > > But for your pleasure I added an einfo call after installation that writes out > to the user that he needs the qt3 use flag for hp-setup to be available. > Can I suggest you change This: * You need the qt3 useflag enabled to use the guy configurator hp-setup to this: * You need the qt3 useflag enabled to use the GUI in hp-setup and hp-toolbox
