Well, I have tried compiling geda-1.10 directly on my Gentoo machine and it failed. Even if I had to specify --without-fam, GUILE_LIBS & GUILE_CFLAGS and PYTHON_LIBS & PYTHON_CFLAGS, compiling fails with an error message on including <fam.h> in gschem_change_notification.c:70:10, so either it's a bug or the README file incorrectly specifies it as "highly recommended". From what I see, fam/gamin is mandatory, not just recommended.

Note that on my machine pkg-config knows not "python2.pc" but "python-2.7.pc". Also note that I don't know if there's a way to specify Guile 2.2 because the configure scripts didn't detect it; same as Python detection, pkg-config arguments differ.

I am also surprised to see dependencies upon long deprecated packages such as Python 2.7, which support is dropped in a few days, and FAM/GAMIN, which are all superseded by INOTIFY (the latter might already be superseded by a more recent package, IIRC). Is there a plan to switch to more recent dependencies for those features?

Happy new year everyone,
Claudio
