Description Aaron 2003-09-22 08:29:23 UTC

The ebuild for nmap requires gnome/gtk, but nmap itself can be built without 
it.  You only really need gtk if you want to use nmapfe.  

I am attempting to install nmap on a system without X (and only 1GB of HD 
space), so I would like the option of leaving off nmapfe, and therefore, 
leaving out the requirement for gtk.  

I have seen ebuilds listed in a google search that checked for gtk, and left 
off nmapfe if it was not found, but that ebuild is not what is used presently.  
Can we put a check for gtk/gnome into the ebuild & fail out nmapfe if it is not 
found, please?

the ebuild checks for gnome and gtk useflags and handles its support accordingly.

in other words, fully setup your USE flag
