remove obsolete popt dependency (1014 bytes, patch)
2006-04-12 12:59 UTC, Christian Kirbach 		rejected Details | Review

Description Vincent Untz 2006-03-28 06:41:41 UTC 
The configure.in script looks for popt, but as far as I can tell, popt is not used in the library.

Should we just remove the check?
Comment 1 Christian Kirbach 2006-04-12 12:22:08 UTC 
looks like we can remove it

remove obsolete popt dependency

drop dead simple patch
Comment 3 Christian Kirbach 2006-04-12 13:14:22 UTC 
it pulls in bonobo-activation that in turn depends on popt.h ...
Comment 4 bill.haneman 2006-06-12 10:15:35 UTC 
Doesn't look like we can remove it, then.  If someone has an idea for how to get around this, please reopen.
Comment 5 Christian Kirbach 2006-06-12 11:19:55 UTC 
well, at-spi itself does not depend - why not remove it?
it is bonobo-activation's business to take care of its own
dependencies, isn't it?
Comment 6 Daniel Macks 2007-11-04 22:12:27 UTC 
Concur with Comment #5; we shouldn't be second-guessing what some dependency might or might not need.
