When building libgtk2 for the host, I get a failure :

This is because libxdamage-dev is not installed on my system. The rest of the compilation works because some other X.org development files are installed on my system. But that's just pure coincidence.
With this build of libgtk2 for the host, the X.org development files basically became a requirement for Buildroot to work properly, which is a shame.
Also, building gtk2 twice (once for the host, once for the target) takes a lot of time. And the build for the host is done only for a few command line tools.
Isn't it possible to improve all this ?

Well, the question is how. The gtk buildsystem afaik needs gtk-update-icon-cache / gdk-pixbuf-csource, so we either depend on the user having the gtk development package installed on the host (in a compatible version), compile it ourselves (either including the X dependencies or require those packages on the host) or hack the gtk buildsystem to not use those programs / only compile those programs and not all of GTK.
The third option sounds nice, but I won't have time to work on it in the near future. It also won't help if we in the future will need to build something else for the host, which needs gtk.
Further discussion should probably better move to the mailing list though.

--- Comment #2 from Sven Neumann <[email protected]> 2009-07-17 23:55:15 UTC --- Neither gtk-update-icon-cache nor gdk-pixbuf-csource have a dependency on GDK. It should be possible to build them without building GDK, let alone GTK+. All you need is gdk-pixbuf. I suggest that you add options to the GTK+ build system to allow building just gdk-pixbuf and these two tools. This change does not belong into buildroot though, it should be submitted against upstream GTK+.

Resolution| |FIXED--- Comment #3 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2010-02-21 17:50:55 UTC --- I've submitted today a patch to fix this:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-February/032129.html
However, the patch and solution is not clean enough to be submitted to the Gtk project.
