GTK has high level GUI widgets, GDK is the lower level event and graphics layer, and glib is the really low level stuff. glib is mainly a library used for portability (such as a cross platform libdl interface or platform independent fixed-size types) and can be used w/o having to bring in all the code used for a graphical interface. Obviously, qemu will always have a glibc-build-time-dependency, and it will also have glibc as a run time dependency (unless it is staticly linked like qemu-fast was). > > Hth, > Dscho > > > _______________________________________________ > Qemu-devel mailing list > Qemu-devel@nongnu.org > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel > -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
