According to my notes, the latest version of Glib2 requires Dbus, which, in turn, requires expat. So, we'd need to add expat, dbus, pcre, glib2 and then upgrade pkg-config!

According to the investigation I just did, glib checks for dbus, but does *not* require it. (Good thing too. I hate that package. :-) ) The comments in configure.ac claim that it's only required for parts of the testsuite.
There's also a built-in PCRE, though it's probably a better idea to use the system one if possible (for security reasons).

I agree with Bryan. I don't really have a problem with pcre or glib2 as both are fairly common library needs. I suppose we need both these in Chapter 6 right before phg-config. Right now, it doesn't look like they are needed in Chapter 5.

Adding pcre early have the benefit that grep will be compiled with pcre support.
We compile glib2 actually on ipcop (after LFS packages) and have no issue not having dbus, except 2 or 3 errors in glib test suite.

Pcre libs need to go in /lib for now (FHS 2.3). Hopefully that can be ditched soon, but for now...

Glib is not embedded anymore in that release but is a required dependancy. So glib2 should be added to the book...
