[Gambas-user] The problem with gb.gui, gb.gui.opengl, and gb.desktop.gnome (2)

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

In revision #5924, the IDE generates meta-packages for QT4 and GTK+ 
support when a project uses the gb.gui component. There is no dependency 
on the non-existing gb.gui package anymore. Same thing for gb.gui.opengl.

So, if the 'foo' project uses gb.gui, the packager will generate the 
three following packages:
- 'foo', the full project will all its dependencies.
- 'foo-qt4', a void package that depends on 'foo' and 'gb.qt4'.
- 'foo-gtk', a void package that depends on 'foo' and 'gb.gtk'.

If 'foo' uses gb.gui.opengl, the corresponding opengl dependencies will 
be added to the 'foo-qt4' and 'foo-gtk' packages.

At the moment, only Debian/Ubuntu has been implemented.

Can you test it and tell me if it works for you?

I will add the conditional dependency foo-gtk | foo-qt4, but I want to 
check if it possible with RPM, Arch, and Slackware packages first.

Regards,

P.S. I admire you and others making binary packages. Playing with debian 
packaging is like programming the Win32 API with the brainfuck language 
for me. It took me more than four hours to make these two metapackages 
without getting a cryptic error.
