[gentoo-dev] local USE flag "gimp" for xsane

Hi all,

I am going to add a local USE flag "gimp" to xsane which triggers building
of xsane as a plugin for the GIMP.

Bye,

Patrick

Or how about an xsane flag for GIMP that makes the xsane plugin a
dependency. :)

There *is* an xsane flag for GIMP. Well, it's called "scanner" but it
does what you intended in your post.

I'm guessing that the problem is that without a useflag for xsane,
dependencies cannot be tracked properly. xsane is linked against
libgimp-2.0 on my system, but gimp is not a dependency of xsane.

Exactly that was the reason.

And, of course: You can build the GIMP without xsane.
But you can't build xsane as a plugin for GIMP without GIMP.

Sorry, I didn't get that joke - the result is bug #105192 :-/
