There's a lot of other stuff that goes into making a desktop environment. [07:14] uhmm, so kde is not heavy for using QT, i get the point [07:14] gtk is used by C compiler [07:14] Yeah. [07:14] test3r: Uh... what? [07:15] isnt it? in my book it said i neede d a gtk pak or two installed for it to compile [07:15] they might have been already on here, though [07:15] I thought the interface toolkit was heavy already, are they all the same (in this topic) [07:15] test3r: Those would be requirements for a specific application. [07:17] e.g; in order to build an app that requires gtk, you'll need the gtk development headers.

[07:22] The mindow manager, the file browser, various applets, how frequently-used libraries are implemented.

I wonder how I'm supposed to interface with C++ then? hopefully my book is new enough to know C++ has changed [07:28] hmmm preparing mount points seems unusally hard [07:28] test3r: Most of what was in libg++ is in libstdc++.
