[RFC] gtk+ and gdk-pixbuf

[RFC] gtk+ and gdk-pixbuf

[Florian Boor]

Hi,

looking at the recipes of GTK+ and gdk-pixbuf I get the impression these should
conflict with each other.
I would like to make the changes soon to avoid that more people run into
problems with this. I have seen several reports of issues that are likely to be
caused by a gtk vs. gdk-pixbuf build conflict.

Greetings

Florian

Yeah, it does look like they would clobber each other.  Although
gdk-pixbuf used to be a separate library in gtk1 days, the gdk-pixbuf
recipe that we have in OE right now just builds the library that's
bundled with GTK+.  I guess the standalone gdk-pixbuf recipe was added
to eliminate the requirement for building X and the whole other
dependency stack that GTK requires if you just want the pixbuf
functions. 

Adding PROVIDES = "gdk-pixbuf" to gtk would probably clear it up.  I
don't think bitbake really understands conflicts so that's probably as
good as it gets.

Exactly.

The pixbuf stuff is still handy for framebuffer devices, but the
gdk-pixbuf recipe should not DEPEND on the complete X11 stuff.

yes indeed, that's a good idea. I'll do it in this way.
