Bug 116243 – PuTTY doeswn't compile the graphical tools.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Vincenzo Romano 2005-12-21 00:42:21 UTC]

When emerging PuTTY, only commandline tools get installed.
This happens because I don't have GTK in my USE variable but only GTK2 (which is not supported by PuTTY).
I suppose this is not what should happen.
What I expect is that if I emerge an application needing a specific library, that library will be emerged.
I think this can be a more general problem not limited to PuTTY.

gtk2 use flag is deprecated (see Bug 106560), so yes, you'll probably miss GUI in a couple of apps.

Not a bug.

Thanks. And what should I do?
Simply erase the "gtk2" from the USE flags?

First of all put gtk into your use flags if you want gtk support...
