Bug 110379 – Add glade use flag to dev-haskell/gtk2hs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hi folks !

I think dev-haskell/gtk2hs should not pull gconf as a dependency just to build
the libglade bindings since the gconf module is not needed to build the libglade
one.

Installing almost everything from gnome just to use libglade doesn't seem the
right way to do things :)

Currently dev-ml/lablgtk uses 'glade' use flag locally to build libglade
bindings. You'd probably want to use 'glade' aswell.

Cheers,
Ferdy

That's a good point. Though I fear that it might end up with many users not
building the glade package when they probably meant to.

It's possible to add a noglade USE flag however that is considered bad style.

Then you could enable building with libglade when either glade or gnome flags
are present. It is not the best style, but will do it :)

Thanks,
Ferdy
