Description Stephane Grenier 2003-04-22 18:35:18 UTC
Hello,

In the mjpegtools ebuild, you have GTK+1.2 as a necessary dependency but this 
is not true. GTK+1.2 is only needed for the "glav" utility which is a frontend 
for "lavplay". gtk is already in the IUSE list so you should use it by 
building glav if the user has "gtk" in their use flags and not building it at 
all otherwise. I don't want GTK+1.2 on my system but I would like the rest of 
mjpegtools. I have read the INSTALL file from the tarball and they say exactly 
what I have just said : GTK+1.2 is not needed in order to build mjpegtools.

I would very much appreciate a way to install this package without having to 
install GTK+1.2 (I am trying to build a GTK2 ONLY system and this is the only 
ebuild left that is giving me problems).

Thank you very much,

Stephane Grenier

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge mjpegtools
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gtk+ 1.2 shows up in the list of dependencies

Expected Results:  
if "gtk" is not in my use flags, I should not have to install it (the 
mjpegtools devs do not list gtk as necessary dep)
