Two: Python and ninja/samurai (samurai doesn't have any dependency other than a C compiler). Almost any program the size of Xorg will likely already depend on Python anyway.
- wott 5y ago> Almost any program the size of Xorg will likely already depend on Python anyway. Last time I built X by hand, there was one... one single X element the building of which depended on Python amongst the many, many components of X: XCB. So I had to install Python just for that one module; let me tell you I wasn't happy at all with such choice. Icing on the cake, the Python scripts were not compatible with Python 3, and also mixed spaces and tabs for indentation, so I had to write patches to get the stuff to compile.
- tedunangst 5y agoThere was a time when any program the size of X used its own build tool. In the case of X, that was imake.
