[gentoo-user] gnucash pulls in firefox (when I already have firefox-bin)

I'm having trouble blocking gnucash from pulling in the full-compiled
version of firefox.
I've got package.provided with
www-client/mozilla-firefox
www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14

but it still insists on pulling in the ebuild.  How do I stop this?

Try putting Firefox in the package.provided file.

I think I mentioned I already did that.  There's a slight typo in that
there's an "=" before the one with a version number.

When I as for --tree, I get


treat Virtual Machines # emerge -at gnucash

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Usually USE="xulrunner -firefox" is enough. In your emerge -t output,
yelp has -xulrunner, which probably is pulling in firefox

Hope that helps

yelp is pulling in firefox because you do not have xulrunner in USE.
firefox-bin is no use, the program needs the header files for either
firefox or xulrunner. The current recommendation is to use xulrunner
instead of firefox in this situation, and in your USE flags.

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

This makes sense,  but I thought I already had that covered.  Here are the
two USE lines in my
/etc/make.conf -- note the last few entries in the main one.

USE="Xaw3d aim apache2 apm bash-completion bcmath -bluetooth calendar caps
cscope ctype dbm exif fastcgi foomaticdb gphoto2 guile icq imap imlib java
joystick libwww mailwrapper mbox mcal mime mmap mmx motif mpi mysql nis
nsplugin odbc offensive openal oscar pic posix postgres ppds ruby samba snmp
sockets sse ssl svga symlink sysvipc tetex usb xpm xulrunner yahoo -firefox
-seamonkey"
USE="$USE tk"           # Mostly so that python supports fetchmailconf

I'll try explicitly tweaking the yelp USE flags, but it looks to me like
some weirdness...

Is all this on one line and the MUA has folded the line or are you missing the 
\ on each line?

Neil,

I am currently having no problems.  I use gnucash extensively and use
firefox (not -bin) as well.  Is the recommendation to switch and add
xulrunner to USE?  If the purpose is to avoid the need for firefox,
that is not relevant to me.  If, however, xulrunner in some way
improves gnucash, I might well want to try it.

thanks in advance and thanks for all your previous help and thoughtful
comments.

It is to avoid the need for Firefox 2 installed from source, which is a
problem if you use Firefox 3 or firefox-bin. the xulrunner flag make
GnuCash, and other apps, build against xunrunner instead of the firefox 2
headers.

Also, if you're going to use FF3, with xulrunner, FF3 will compile
against xulrunner, thus reducing the FF3 build to time to a few
minutes, as the LONG build already happened with xulrunner...

I see.  When FF3 becomes stable, I will turn on xulrunner.

Thanks for the explanations.

This makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why does an accounting 
package need to build against a rendering engine? I can't see the 
connection

The doc USE flag makes gnucash depend on gnucash-docs, which in turn
depends on yelp. That's what requires the HTML engine.
