Hi, i tried to emerge gcl, but it failed, because some dvi files could not be found. As \TeX generates dvi files, I merged tetex and gcl merged correctly. TeTeX seems to be a big dependancy for gcl,perhaps documentation should only be built when a use flag is set so that it works also without tetex (and without documentation).
Hi Thomas. Thanks for spotting this! I have added app-text/tetex to DEPEND. Thanks for spotting this! Yes, it should be made optional on "doc?". Unfortunately package does not provide an easy way to remove dvi creation - I did not find any option to configure and tried just passing --disable-docs to no avail. Removing few apparent lines from makefile did not do any difference either (though I suspect this file is just ignored). However the fix itself should be made. I will leave making tetex dependency optional for later time, or for you to excersise ;). Well, if you have any idea on what to do (other than going dirty - stripping dvi creation from all Makefile.in's, there were many of them that mentioned dvi as I noticed), please advise (please reopen the bug in this case).
