patch

obsolete

>Apr 05 20:33:26 <drobilla>	The point is to avoid forcing a gtk program to have a direct dependency on qt and vice versa
>Apr 05 20:33:48 <drobilla>	The host not having to care about what toolkit the plugin is actually implemented in is literally the point, not a problem
>Apr 05 20:33:55 <bsjones>	understood. I thyink this is a package/build system issue
>Apr 05 20:34:29 <drobilla>	I don't understand this dependency stuff in this thread because "qt module" and "gtk module" do not make sense
>Apr 05 20:34:48 <drobilla>	There are two modules in suil that depend on both of those toolkits, gtk2_in_qt4 and qt4_in_gtk2
>Apr 05 20:35:02 <drobilla>	Since they both depend on the same libraries, you might as well put them in the same package
>Apr 05 20:35:43 <drobilla>	Or you can put every module in separate ones, it doesn't really matter
>Apr 05 20:36:26 <drobilla>	The main package should recommend the module packages so they are likely to be installed, but the user is not forced to install them.
>Apr 05 20:37:02 <drobilla>	The main package should *not* depend on *any* toolkit, or the module packages
>Apr 05 20:41:14 <bsjones>	I think that's the crux of the issue here - we want the main suil library to be pulled in by the host, but there's no way we can guarantee the required lib is present. I'm just going to package them together and be done with it
>Apr 05 20:41:20 <bsjones>	live with the consequences
>Apr 05 20:41:40 <bsjones>	(me that is) - got to run off 
>Apr 05 20:41:55 <drobilla>	You don't *want* to guarantee the required lib is present!
>Apr 05 20:42:11 <drobilla>	bsjones | so every lv2 host that uses suil should have qt AND GTK available - that's ridiculous
