That seems like a can of worms to me - Buildroot is hard enough to test as it is without adding more varability to it.

What we could do is to extend dependencies.sh to complain to the user to fix it up themselves if needed. >> How does openembedded handle it? >> Ulf> Did not check. I think they only support distributions with gnome in /usr. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
