Description Andreas Jaeger 2007-05-11 06:55:37 UTC
sax2 has a rather long requires line - including binutils.

Why is this needed?  I would like to have it removed.
Comment 1 Marcus Schaefer 2007-05-11 09:04:40 UTC
because of tools like strings and objdump which are required to check
the different variants of libGl (nvidia / ATI brings in its own lib) additional
features of the libX11 like support for wheel emulation or others are
checked as well because X doesn't have a clean interface for that and requires
in any case a display first which you don't have when you start to setup
a configuration

It's a wontfix because you would break the program under certain
circumstances
Comment 2 Ruediger Oertel 2007-05-11 09:42:58 UTC
the strings call can be easily replaced by "grep -a". Where do you use
objdump ?
Comment 4 Dirk Mueller 2007-05-11 09:53:35 UTC
I can only find one strings call. as mentioned in comment #2, this should use grep -a instead. its much faster as well. 
Comment 5 Marcus Schaefer 2007-05-11 10:28:44 UTC
will have a look at it
