This is not true. gal does require libglade as a LIB_DEPENDS. Checkout revision 1.33 of the gal Makefile: LIB_DEPENDS= unicode.0:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libunicode \ glade.4:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libglade \ iconv.3:${PORTSDIR}/converters/libiconv If I build GNOME from the meta-port on a clean machine, everything will build. The dependency chain will be built as I go. Like I said earlier, if you look at gal, for instance, you will see it requires libglade which requires gnomedb, which requires libgda, which requires bonobo, which requires gnomeprint. gtkhtml requires gal, which requires libglade, ..., and so on.
