Description Rex Dieter 2005-12-19 19:09:37 UTC

-devel: should add
Requires: xorg-x11-proto-devel
Requires: libX11-devel 
for usage of X11/X.h and X11/Xlib.h, repectively, in it's own installed headers.

These are the first ones I've found by casual inspection, there may be more.

You may want to add whatever(??) owns libICE.so, since kdelibs' .la files
include references to it, and libXt-devel (since many/most kde apps' default
./configure test for the presence ot X libs looks for libXt.so)

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2005-12-19 19:16:47 UTC

I see that libICE/libX11 is picked up by qt-devel, though arguably, libX11
should be here in kdelibs too, since it contains direct references to X11/Xlib.h

FWIW, I think this alone is not a reason to make kdelibs-devel pull libXt-devel
in.  If the apps use it directly (for configure tests or whatever), they should
have a build dependency on it.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2005-12-21 14:12:39 UTC

Re: comment #2:  No, the apps don't use libXt directly, but kde's *generic*
configure test for X includes and X libraries look for X11/Intrinsic.h and libXt
respectively.  If libXt-devel isn't added to kdelibs-devel's Req's, then
(almost?) *every* kde application will need:
BuildRequires: libXt-devel
just to build, even though they don't use it.  

OTOH, it's arguable that kde's generic test for the presence of X headers/libs
is wrong/unnecesssary.

Comment 4 Than Ngo 2005-12-21 15:17:27 UTC

it seems qt needs libXt-devel for building, those requires should be added in
qt-devel. Many thanks for your reports.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2005-12-21 15:30:00 UTC

Don't forget kdelibs-devel should have 
Requires: xorg-x11-proto-devel libX11-devel
regardless of qt-devel's situation.
