gdk-pixbuff-xlib missing

gdk-pixbuff-xlib missing

[Andreas Müller]

Hi

while playing around with libreoffice, configure complains for missing
gdk-pixbuff-xlib.

I checked: although I have 'x11' in 'DISTRO_FEATURE', gdk-pixbuff-xlib
is an empty package.

The responsible lines in gdk-pixbuf_xx.bb are:

X11DEPENDS = "--without-x11"
X11DEPENDS_linuxstdbase = "${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'x11',
'--with-x11', '--without-x11', d)}"
X11DEPENDS_class-native = "--without-x11"

I got two questions:

1. why not
X11DEPENDS = "${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'x11', '--with-x11',
'--without-x11', d)}"
X11DEPENDS_class-native = "--without-x11"

2. (maybe this answers also 1. - but I would like to understand): what
is linuxstdbase (image) about

enlightenment appreciated

Andreas

I believe that this is because the original recipe was defaulted to 
--without-x11 and the person adding the linuxstdbase code just preserved 
the behavior

It seems we should really make this a PACKAGECONFIG with the 
PACKAGECONFIG using the linuxstdbase override as default.

Patches welcome!

This one I can answer better the linuxstdbase is a Distro level override 
enabled when building an LSB based image, it's set in poky-lsb.conf.

It enables building certain packages with flags or settings that will 
pass the LSB compliance tests.

Libreoffice, bastion of all deprecated libraries...

As gdk-pixbuf-xlib is a separate library we could build it based on
the x11 DISTRO_FEATURE, and put it in a separate package.
