Description Jose daLuz 2006-07-31 18:52:01 UTC

In Code Listing 2.1 in the GNOME Configuration HOWTO, the following appears:
USE="-qt -kde gtk gnome hal howl"

The qt USE flag has been replaced by qt3 and qt4. A new user following this guide who doesn't want anything qt-related is going to be unpleasantly surprised.

Comment 1 Ooblick 2006-08-01 02:33:30 UTC

I also found you need -arts in the USE flag to prevent QT being emerge'd too.

I'd suggest replacing in section 2.1:

  USE="-qt -kde gtk gnome hal howl"

with

  USE="-qt -qt3 -qt4 -kde -arts gtk gnome hal howl"

Comment 2 Jose daLuz 2006-08-01 04:57:14 UTC

Good idea. And while we're at it, how about replacing "howl" with "avahi"? Howl is not being developed any more, but avahi is.

Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
