Fix icedtea dependencies

[Pierre Labastie]

Fernando, if you do not mind, I could take this one. I want to discuss with you all the issues, because it is your work. I do not have so much time, but hopefully, there is no hurry. What do you think?

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Thanks Pierre L.

Sorry, only now, I noticed.

Anyway, will leave open and give to you, for more fixes.

Partially fixed at r12882.

I am always in a hurry with the book, still could not get back to an up to date status, as before the package freeze.

So many releases, each day, don't know what is happening, seems faster, now.

Yes, I see what you are doing. It's amazing! I wish I could help more, but I am very slow, and can work only part time.

found that attr is required too, and not a dependency of others (well, except it is an optional dependency of glib). Same for alsa-lib, it seems (should be moved from optional to required). That's all for tonight.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I confirm that.

Please, if you do not mind, would you make these fixes? I mean, better for the user having a fixed book, even if there are still other fixes to be done.

Fixed at r12884

It finds nss without the switch

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Sorry, I read again and was wrong, yesterday.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Thanks.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

However, it found and complained about nss, without the switch. and I don't understand anymore, seems different from what I read in the script.

[Pierre Labastie]

If I understand the configure script correctly, nss is always checked, but if the switch is not passed:

• nss is not used
• only a warning is issued if nss is not found

while if the switch is passed:

• nss is used
• an error is issued if nss is not found, and configure exits.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Thanks again. So, better with enable nss.

OT: There are three others I would like to ask you, please, to fix the dependencies: Grilo, Grilo plugins (this one, particularly, is the most difficult in the book, for me), IcedTea-Web. I have asked somebody else privately grilo-plugins, but he did not have time. I am adding some to IcedTea-Web, but you can change what is necessary. No need to hurry, but as soon as results are coming, I think you do not need to wait for the next day.
