Gimp is needed for "make check" with the gimp xcf extension. It's only needed at compile time, it's not added as a binary dependency.
Will look into the others. On 1 Nov 2013 21:32, "Krzysztof Kosiński" <tweenk.pl@...400...> wrote:
Hello
Recently I'm getting mails about Launchpad build failure reports for the inkscape-trunk package. The log seems to suggest that it's not our fault (some dependency problems apparently), but it looks interesting for different reasons:
- We have Gimp and bash-completion as a build dependency. Why on earth is
that?
- One of the unmet dependencies is libxml-parser-perl. Why do we
require this? It looks like we have just four extensions written in Perl - perhaps we could rewrite them in Python and avoid Perl as a hard dependency.
