just got a message from buildd that I was missing yacc (bison) in my Build-Depends. So I looked at the Makefile and also found /usr/bin/lex there, making me add bison and flex to the Build-Depends line in the control file. But the it struck me: Why don't I have to specify gcc there? Is it just assumed that everyone doing apt-get source and compiling will have gcc installed? dpkg-dev does not depend on it, how does Debian assure that gcc can even be executed on the system where a package is to be built? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck "the husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes." -- oscar wilde
