gtk+ is currently in the dependency tree for qt, but is not an input.
Either we should add gtk+ as an input so the styling can be uniform
between the two toolkits, or we should find which input pulls it in and
see what other options we have for removing it from the graph.

It appears that qtbase depends on libinput which depends on gtk+@3, and
also qtbase -> libinput -> libwacom -> gtk+@3.

Can we split libinput into a qt part and a separate gtk part?

libwacom is built with glib-or-gtk-build-system, so if we switch
libinput to libinput-minimal then we can drop the GUI for libinput and
libwacom support and remove gtk+ as an input. Or we can try to build
libwacom without gtk.

I just noticed that efl in elightenment.scm also has libinput as an

input. I think for now we should replace both qtbase's and efl's

libinput with libinput-minimal.

I guess you can reasonably start with EFL since it has few dependents.

I suppose we’ll also need a “libwacom-minimal” package no?

Or perhaps we should simply add a “lib” output since only the libwacom-*

commands depend on GTK+:

gtk

It’s not even clear that GTK+ is needed, given that it doesn’t show up

in ldd.

The same thing probably applies to libinput.

Thoughts?

Apologies for not seeing this earlier, but I fixed it with commit

206193fec9cf527dec73841c16b6ae6ae52aaf37 last June.

Now, we should ensure gtk@4 doesn't depend on qtbase though... (see

#51994).

Closing,

Thanks!

Maxim
