pixbuf dependency
Last modified: 2014-12-09 08:25:17 UTC
It seems that pixbuf is only necessary for tests, yet the PKG_CHECK_MODULES check for pixbuf makes it a hard dependency (whether or not gtester is available - might be worth an --enable-tests flag, on by default).
Given that gdk-pixbuf is already part of the stack, it's not a problem for me or other people hacking on gom. I'd take a patch to make tests optional, or switch from GdkPixbuf's usage in the tests to something else that wouldn't introduce a new dependency.
Created attachment 292339 [details] [review] build patch I think this trivial patch does the trick. The key point is that the build doesn't bail if gdk-pixbuf isn't found (and glib already provides a --disable-glibtest)
Review of attachment 292339 [details] [review]: That looks fine, thanks
