Description

Hi,

Please remove useless Qt5 dependency foçr GT3 build.

Qt5 is an enormous bazar that "GTK only" desktop environments must not have to install.

#1 Updated by John Lindgren over 4 years ago

I'm not sure I understand the issue here. Are you using meson or ./configure && make?

If you're using ./configure, did you pass --disable-qt?

#4 Updated by JP Guillemin over 4 years ago

Yes, indeed, caused by the bug in both configure and meson : Qt is always required even if --disable-qt is passed to the configuration args.

Please take a look at my patch for configure : it's obvious :

 if test "${enable_qt+set}" = set; then :
   enableval=$enable_qt; USE_QT=$enableval
 else
- USE_QT=yes
+ USE_QT=no
 fi

It is really a bug !

No, you are misunderstanding the logic there. I build on a system without Qt before every release. It is not required.
