No objections from me, I just though I'd mention that gettext can link against and use glib, libcroco and libxml (which it seems to prefer, given the choice between libxml and expat) so I recompile it after I've installed glib, libcroco and libxml. This makes the shared libraries considerably smaller. andy:~$ ldd /usr/bin/xgettext linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff0d283000) libgettextsrc-0.17.so => /usr/lib/libgettextsrc-0.17.so (0x00007f40c83f9000) libgettextlib-0.17.so => /usr/lib/libgettextlib-0.17.so (0x00007f40c8172000) libacl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libacl.so.1 (0x00007f40c7f6b000) libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x00007f40c7d67000) libcroco-0.6.so.3 => /usr/lib/libcroco-0.6.so.3 (0x00007f40c7b2b000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f40c782e000) libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x00007f40c74dc000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007f40c72c4000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f40c7042000) libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007f40c6df4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f40c6a8d000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f40c6889000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f40c8637000) Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
