Re: [Fink-devel] unneeded requirements

[David R. M. <dr...@ma...>]

In some packages, you can use a flag to the "configure" step to disable
linking certain libraries.  If that is possible, and you want to do it,
then you don't need to make the library a dependency.

However, if the library will be used whenever it is found and there is
no way to disable that, then you must make it a dependency.
