does this need libxml with Python bindings enabled?
if we can get around including Python as an (indirect) dep for R, I think we should?

@boegel Not, but cairo have a GLib dependency, and GLib have a libxml2-Python dependency. So all the chain should have libxml2-Python dependency to avoid conflicts (or we have to delete the Python dependency of the existing GLib easyconfig.

We should have a "dontload@build" option in case of Dependencies, so that dep is not loaded during the build. I mean, in case of GLlib Python is only a builddep, but we have to use libxml2 with Python capabilities. libxml2 with Python could be builddep, and normal libxml2 could be the dep, with "dontload@build"
This should help us to easier handle circular dependencies.

I don't think using two different libxml2 builds as build dep/runtime dep is a good idea...
Who knows what happens during the build, it may remember where the libxml2 it was built on top of is installed.
Why do we have to use libxml2 w/ Python in GLib? And how can Python only be a build dep then?

checking the GLib configure.log, only xmlcatalog needed. And Indeed, Python must be there to build GLib there is no other way. Anyway, I am not 100% sure that we need libxml2 as dep for GLib, but I also feel that this issue should not block this PR. (maybe I am wrong here)

I checking everything in bin and lib of a build I have of GLib/2.47.5 and there doesn't seem to be any dependency on libxml, I think it will work as a build dep.

I have the feeling that GLib does not need libxml2 at all. The only xml stuff I found there, is xmlcatalog. xml catalogs are pointing to xml documents, but anyway, we are not keen to install documentation. Moreover, not giving the --with-xml-catalog=CATALOG option to configure it defaults to /etc/xml/catalog
So probably libxml2 is not a real dep for GLib
How shoud we proceed?

I guess we could try and see if GLib works without libxml2, on a setup where libxml2 is not provided by the OS?

GLib uses xmllint at build time, which is provided by libxml2, cfr. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2013-April/msg00010.html
so, libxml2 is definitely a build dep

Sorry for the interruption here, but I have a question: Are we sure that the required dependency is libX11 and not libXt? I was building R these days also, and the easyconfig in the repo couldn't get built because of a missing libXt header. |

@damianam if you want X11 support, you need |

@hajgato, no, I took it from master, but it didn't build. However, after adding |

@boegel: I am on it, but because the GLib-libxm2 issue, I need a GLib with libxml2-Pyhon-libX11
