recent addition of libgxim depends issue

recent addition of libgxim depends issue

[akuster808]

Hello,

While building world I found and issue with libgxim.

libgxim depends on ruby-native. meta-ruby is not a layer depends for 
meta-oe.

Can meta-oe have layer depends other then 'core' ? if so, this is an 
easy fix.

regards,
Armin

I would not like to have such a dependency. May be move this recipe to meta-ruby

If it's not specifically a ruby-related piece of software (which it doesn't 
seem to be, at a glance) then that wouldn't seem right. Can the ruby 
dependency be disabled by default using PACKAGECONFIG perhaps?

Cheers,

ruby-native not runtime-ruby is required by libgxim. 
There's a ruby script named mkacc.rb used to generate source file.
I think it's not a feature which can be disabled/enabled easily by using PACKAGECONFIG.

But as Paul said, it's not a ruby-related software, moving it to
meta-ruby does not make sense.

Is it impossible to move the ruby to meta-oe/recipes-devtools or oe-core/recipes-devtools
same python and perl.

Thanks
 Bian

I did not see any configure option. The issue is
"libgxim/mkacc.rb", it is used in the build process.
