Re: [gtk-list] Re: Replacement of Imlib with pixbuf

["Michael" <mikejuni yahoo com>]

Making one more "Gnome Lite" Project is too much.
Didn't you guys find out that currently, GNome contains too much
dependencies. For example, all the graphic libraries that it needs, ranging
from
libjpeg to libmagick.

I think that gdk-pixbuf should be implemented in a way that it does not
requires GNome (because all it does is to process images and pixel buffers),
and some GNome widgets (like GtkPixmapMenuItem..etc) should be moved to
gtk+. Also, if someone can put all the dependencies of GNome, for example,
all the graphics libraries, into one package that can be GNU configured. In
this case, users will not have to type ./configure too much that makes them
tired.

If I know more about autoconf...etc, I'll do it for myself.

Michael.
