Some requirements seem to be too strict, some too weak, comparing the ebuild and the configure script: For example configure only checks for intltool 0.35.5, while the ebuild requests >=0.40. Changing the ebuild accordingly produced no problems here. Same for the following (quoting from configure): GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION=2.16.1 GTK_REQUIRED_VERSION=2.12.5 pango seems to be 1.18.0 freetype doesn't seem to require a specific version Whereas the ebuild says: >=dev-libs/glib-2.18.1 (should be 2.16.1) >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.13 (2.12.5) >=x11-libs/pango-1.12.2 (1.18.0) >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.7 (?) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Also, DEPEND includes RDEPEND, shouldn't it rather be the other way round? (Probably just a style question.)
intltool had a reason, make test fails with old versions. glib also had, though I can't remember. I'll raise the versions of pango and gtk, though it probably won't matter much. Please note that there are often reasons why we dep on other (higher) versions in gentoo than the configure-script requires, e.g. with intltool: you can build it with the old one, but make test will fail, thus violating QA checks from Gentoo. DEPEND/RDEPEND: no, it's completely fine as it is, usually (for compiled packages) all runtime deps are also build-deps, but not the other way round.
