Description James Dennis 2002-04-25 15:08:38 UTC 
When compiling gaim from portage it wants to build gnome. I'm new to gentoo so 
I'm afraid I haven't done a good analysis of where this dependency comes from, 
but gaim definitly shouldn't need gnome. My USE variable says -gnome, but I 
believe the dependency comes from gdk-pixbuf which I think requires gnome to 
be built. I have compiled gaim from source and it runs fine without gdk-pixbuf 
or gnome so obviously those dependencies should be made optional, not 
mandatory.

I will check this
Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-25 16:13:32 UTC 
Changed as it should be.  I am still pushing for extended dependency lists, so
that gdk-pixbuf can be specified to not compile for GNOME, which would make
everything soo nice.

Thanks for this, though.
