Description David Grant 2004-01-18 15:02:04 UTC
gnome-terminal won't build if atk isn't installed, because ./configure will fail.

hmm. how did atk get -un-installed on your computer?

gnome-terminal depends on gtk+

gtk+ has the dependencies for :
        >=dev-libs/glib-2.2
        >=dev-libs/atk-1.2
        >=x11-libs/pango-1.2


So we won't ever -have- to include said dependencies. 

If your system is down to the state where atk is missing yet you have managed to install gtk+, I'd suggest something is very wrong with your setup.


closing as invalid because of this.

I removed atk a few days ago because it wanted to emerge it, but I don't need accessibility stuff.  So I unmerged it.  I guess this is a portage issue, because it can't handle this kind of thing.  ie. when gtk+ is installed but atk isn't, and atk is a dependancy of gtk+...  Hopefully it will be in portage-ng.
