Well, we try to keep the amount of dependencies low to make it easy to use, but within sane limits ofcourse, we don't want to build an entire host system as well. There's no hard fixed rules in other words. Certain things just have to be there (shell, make, toolchain). For the rest it's a question about: - How big is the dependency (E.G. how much effort to compile for host) - How version specific is the dependency (E.G. autoconf) - How "standard" is the dependency - E.G. can we reasonably expect it to be available on all/most developer machines? -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
