Inkscape is a hidden dependency on Arch

Open mysfitt opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

When installing coreboot-configurator on Arch, meson notified me that the inkscape binary was a requirement. Upon further inspection post install, it seems that inkscape is being used to generate the icon set instead of QT5-SVG (which actually is listed as a dependency). This is either a defect in the build configuration (missing dependency) or someone left their dirty hack in and accidentally committed it. No judgement, we've all been there :)

Full disclosure: I'm running Endeavour OS, which is very close to stock Arch, but with a few niceties. The install was done using the yay wrapper for pacman.

Might want to let the coreboot-configurator-git AUR package maintainer know that inkscape is missing from makedepends() as it fails to build without it then.

By the way, inkscape is listed as a dependency in the Debian control file and RPM spec file.
