Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] minor bug

[Dimitris Symeonidis]

Tom, I tried some more to clean up the dependencies list on Ubuntu.

I found a few dependencies that we were installing that don't seem to
be needed. ./configure, make and make check pass without errors. Can
you please confirm that in fact they are not necessary? Thanks!
* guile and guile-1.8-dev
* python-opengl
* pyqt4-dev-tools and qt4-dev-tools
* libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev

What's more, there are a few dependencies that don't need to be stated
explicitly, as they get pulled in automatically by other packages we
install:
* libpulse-dev (pulled in by libsdl1.2-dev)
* sdcc-libraries (pulled in by sdcc)
* libqt4-dev (pulled in by libqwt5-qt4-dev)
* libqtcore4 (pulled in by python-qwt5-qt4)

Finally, there are three dependencies of gr-qtgui that are not checked
by ./configure (i.e. configure passes, but make fails):
* libfontconfig1-dev
* libxrender-dev
* libxi-dev
