What's up with the GTK2 build time dep for Electron? #37

Closed severen closed 8 years ago

severen commented 8 years ago

I was looking at the Electron PKGBUILD and noticed that it has a makedepend on GTK2, despite the fact that it's apparently built with GTK3 support now as of #10 and has a runtime dependency on GTK3.

Is this an error or is it some intricacy of Electron?

Right now Electron has no runtime or buildtime dependency on GTK2, however during the initial stage of the build process the Chromium part of the build does pkg-config gtk-2.0; rather than patching Chromium I opted for including gtk2 in makedepends.

I see now, thanks for the clarification.
