Oops, not mtlib, but mtpaint

Hi, thanks for reporting.

Do you mean as make dependencies? Added several packages as make dependencies, rebuilt and uploaded mtpaint 3.40-10 to [community]. Does it work for you now?
Comment by Michael (media_slave24) - Friday, 30 August 2013, 12:23 GMT
Not make, but install, sorry:)
I mean, when i want to use mtpaint, i should install mtpaint and then install giflib manually.

You want giflib to be an optional dependency?
Comment by Michael (media_slave24) - Saturday, 31 August 2013, 08:11 GMT
At least optional dependency. Yes.
Comment by Alexander F. Rødseth (xyproto) - Sunday, 01 September 2013, 21:05 GMT
So, if it should be at least an optional dependency, then a regular dependency is fine?
Comment by Michael (media_slave24) - Sunday, 01 September 2013, 21:14 GMT
At least optional.

Because after executing 'pacman -S mtpaint' i don't see that mtpaint needs some libs to open gif images, which occurs often enough.
And when i open gif image without knowledge, that mtpaint needs some extra libs, and what libs are needed, i spend extra time to find out what should i do.

I can use some other lightweight image editor, but i think mtpaint is optimal for me. And so, i decided to write this issue.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm learning it by linux manuals:)

giflib is now both a dependency and a makedependency.

Do you mean that it should be an optional dependency instead?

If you're learning english from linux manuals, I'm impressed.

Do you get an error message if you just install mtpaint and then open a gif file?

Updated the package. Please reopen this issue or create a new issue if there should be further problems with this. Thanks.
