Dependency Matrix

From AWN Wiki

The following is a matrix of the dependencies for Awn and the equivalent packages for the "major" Linux distributions. Packages marked in italic indicate that the package is needed in order to install from source. With Gentoo-based distributions this is not necessary, as the development files are installed along with the runtime libraries/programs. If your distribution is not listed here, feel free to add the dependencies required to the Talk page.

[edit] Footnotes

1. For 0.2 and 0.2.1, the minimum version of GLib needed is 2.8.0. For 0.2.4 and above with the flag --with-desktop=agnostic, the minimum version is 2.15.0 (GIO support). For 0.2.4 and above with the flag --without-gconf, the minimum version is 2.12.0.
2. For 0.2.x, the minimum version of Gtk+ needed is 2.10.0.
3. The gnome-python* and gnome-panel dependencies are only needed for 0.2 and 0.2.1. Versions 0.2.4 and above use libawn's python bindings and a custom launcher editor instead.
4. For 0.2 and 0.2.1, these dependencies are required. For 0.2.4 and above, it is only required in the default build or if you explicitly build Awn with the flag --with-desktop=gnome.
5. For 0.2 and 0.2.1, this dependency is required. For 0.2.4 and above, it is only required in the default build or if you explicitly build Awn with the flag --with-gconf.
6. This dependency is only required in 0.2.4 and above, if you build Awn with the flag --with-desktop=xfce4.
7. These dependencies are only needed for installing development branches from source.
   Note: Vala is optional, and only required if you wish to build applets written in Vala.
8. As of 2008/01/26, there is no official ebuild for Vala. It is expected that it will be placed in the dev-lang category, though.
9. Bazaar is only required if you wish to install from source with a development branch. For all branches, bzr-0.92 is the minimum version required. For more information on distribution-specific packages, please see their wiki.
10. Alternatively, there is an overlay for bzr on Launchpad which contains bzr-related ebuilds not found in the official Portage repository.
