Description:

Hugin creates a panorama by creating a makefile and running make to produce the final output. This means that make is a dependency, however it is not listed in the package dependencies. A non-developer who installs hugin will not be able to produce any output until they install make as well.

Additionally, recent versions of hugin have required perl-exiftool to work, however it is still listed in optdepends in the Arch package. It should be in depends.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Install hugin
2. Make sure make and/or perl-exiftool are uninstalled
3. Try to render a project
This task depends upon

Hello,
We don't specify make in package dependencies. Anyone building a package is supposed to install the base-devel package group.

Filed with high severity since it prevents the package working as-is, but it's easily worked around (pacman -S make perl-exiftool).

Remy, in this case the package actually needs make to run, not just to build. It generates a makefile and runs make on it as the rendering process.
