 |
|
Hiya all,
I was going to install gimp when I realised all the requirements it's got, gnome-libs etc which then require esound and so on. I didn't really care earlier when using debian but now that I installed gentoo I'm obsessed to keep my system as clean as possible  Can someone point me the USE flags or other means to install gimp with as few other packages as possible? I noticed gimp 1.3 doesn't require gnome-libs but on the other hand it uses gtk2.0 and I'd like to keep only one gtk/glib versions.. yeah call me perfectionist or whatever

In general, if you want to see how USE flags will effect the dependencies of a package, then have a look at the DEPEND and RDEPEND variables near the top of the package's ebuild file. In the case of the gimp, you have (in /usr/portage/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-1.2.3-r3.ebuild) an entry that looks like:
| Code: |
gnome? ( >=gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.1.2-r1 )
|
which means that if you have USE="gnome" it will depend on gnome-libs. Solution:
| Code: |
# env USE="-gnome" emerge gimp
|
Edit: Since gtk-perl depends on gdk-pixbuf, which is hard set to require gnome-libs, you actually need USE="-gnome -perl" if you don't want gnome-libs. |

Thanks a lot, -perl did the trick.
Interesting to see how it's gonna look like, hope I won't miss too much features now
(edit: I should learn to read)

Thanks!
The USE="-gnome -perl" got me thinking about my USE variables.
I used ufed to set my USE variables, and now gimp installs without any gui stuff (as much as that is possible)!
Thank you again! 
I know I *should* have tweaked the USE varialbles a *long* time ago! |

I think -perl will make it omit the Perl-based script-fu functions. I personally think some of these are worth having, and it's always worth having Perl installed anyway. |
