LFS - Popular Dependencies

I have installed a number of bits of software onto my bare LFS/X/GTK system now, and I have noticed that I have come across the same dependencies time and again. I have installed Firefox, OpenOffice and a number of smaller applications, all of which shared to an extent background software. So, for the next build, I thought it would be a good idea to stick all of that software into a blogpost so I have a record of the shared stuff, so I can install it all in a one-er and then get on with the applications themselves.

First of all, there are a few packages which crop up and I keep having to double check that I have installed them. I have, because they form part of the core system. They are:

Installed with LFS
zlib
libuuid

Installed Basics
zip
unzip
lzma
openssl

Installed with Xorg:
XML::Parser
Intltool
libpng (and yes I applied the patch to allow it to be used with Firefox)
Fontconfig
Pixman

Installed with GTK:
Cairo
Pango
PCRE
tiff
jpeg

I do not need to worry about those again, they are already installed. So what is not, and what is the best order to install these extras in? I think first of all we will install some programs that do not depend on any of the other packages we are about to dump into the system. SQLite is a database program and startup-notification makes the pointer do the hourglass thing while another program is starting up. For some programs, unbelievably this is actually a prerequisite.

I am going to stick all of these source files in a separate folder in sources - this is just to show that they are not part of the structure of LFS, and neither are they the Applications that I will end up running.

mkdir /sources/dependencies
cd /sources/dependencies

Lets move on to a biggie which is the Python language. A number of applications use this, as do some of the intermediate libraries.

Still on the libraries front, we installed Glib, Cairo, Pango and GTK. Some applications need GTK to be able to speak C++ so we need to install the following crossover libraries (the libsigc++ is needed for glibmm). Note that this project has taken so long that I am now out of date with my version of glib. I had to update it before I could install glibmm. I also had to update gtk+2 and ATK, but not cairo or pango. I will write up a new GTK+2 installation post to bring the installation up to date.

JUnit is not, as you may be forgiven for assuming, a boy band. It is, instead, a small Java application that allows various tests to be run on other Java applications, such as Apache Ant which is a Java based alternative to [make] and OpenOffice.org, amongst others, is going to use it to compile.
