All the dependencies listed there are recursive build-dependencies. poptop=
=20
directly build-depends on gmake, which in turn depends on libiconv, gettext=
=20
and libtool15 and so on. None of these however are required for the binary=
=20
package of poptop.

=46or what it's worth, you don't really need to worry about the dependencie=
s of=20
a package if you have access to the FreeBSD ftp mirrors anyway - pkg_add -r=
=20
will recursively fetch dependencies of any given package as required.
