Just wondering.They're not just build dependencies. They're required to use the library in a certain way, namely to compile other programs against it. As long as we don't have compile-against dependencies, the only correct way to express that is RDEPEND (and also DEPEND because they're /also/ needed to build the library itself).That's what I've been trying to say (also with my example). That is, they are more than DEPENDs.
How comes, this is the list of files owned by xproto: /usr/include/X11/extensions/dmxext.h /usr/include/X11/extensions/dmxproto.h /usr/share/doc/dmxproto-2.2.2/ChangeLog.bz2 /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/dmxproto.pc /usr/include/X11/DECkeysym.h /usr/include/X11/Xos.h /usr/include/X11/HPkeysym.h /usr/include/X11/Xosdefs.h /usr/include/X11/Xwinsock.h /usr/include/X11/Xos_r.h /usr/include/X11/Xalloca.h /usr/include/X11/Xatom.h /usr/include/X11/Xfuncproto.h /usr/include/X11/Sunkeysym.h /usr/include/X11/Xdefs.h /usr/include/X11/ap_keysym.h /usr/include/X11/Xarch.h /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h /usr/include/X11/Xw32defs.h /usr/include/X11/Xprotostr.h /usr/include/X11/keysym.h /usr/include/X11/X.h /usr/include/X11/Xwindows.h /usr/include/X11/Xproto.h /usr/include/X11/XWDFile.h /usr/include/X11/Xthreads.h /usr/include/X11/Xpoll.h /usr/include/X11/Xmd.h /usr/include/X11/Xfuncs.h /usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h /usr/share/doc/xproto-7.0.16/ChangeLog.bz2 /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xproto.pc How can a bunch of .h and pkgconfig files *do* all that magic you are talking about?
Thanks,
You are more than welcome,
