Change configure.ac to not link gtop bindings to pygtk's libs (595 bytes, patch)

Description Toshio Kuratomi 2011-01-03 21:57:20 UTC 
I was looking into using the python bindings to libgtop as a small, portable library to look at system resources used by a program.  However, I found that the gtop bindings have a slew of other dependencies.  After a bit of looking at the code, it seems that the configure.ac script sets the gtop bindings to link against all the libraries that pygtk needs, however those are not used by the code.

I'll attach a patch that removes that from the configure.ac script.

The last gnome-python-desktop code changes took place in January 2011:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/gnome-python-desktop/log/

This project is not under active development anymore.

This project got recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. If you are interested in maintainership, inform https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

gnome-python-desktop wrapped application API in GNOME 2. For Python in GNOME 3, see https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject and its gobject-introspection approach.
