[Bug 61853] Re: libgtk2.0-0-dev needs libtiff4-dev

Fri Sep 22 12:31:23 UTC 2006

I downloaded the source code of gtk+-2.10.3 and tried to compile, it
stopped asking for the development package of libtiff4.

The error log is :

configure: WARNING: *** TIFF loader will not be built (TIFF library not found) ***
configure: error:
*** Checks for TIFF loader failed. You can build without it by passing
*** --without-libtiff to configure but some programs using GTK+ may
*** not work properly

I understand that it's an optional package, but maybe it should be
included in the dependencies for the development package of gtk.
