A few days ago we discussed rebuilding libarts from

Yet I would like clarification about all of the packages in the dependencies and
libraries branch.
Which are required, which are recommended, and what is an appropriate build order?
Well, after a bunch of culling, here's an autogenerated partial dependency
tree (3 levels) for kdebase according to my system:
kde-base/kdebase-meta-3.5.13:
kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.13_p1183307
dev-util/cmake-2.8.4-r1
kde-base/kdesktop-3.5.13_p1183307
kde-base/libkonq-3.5.13_p1183307
kde-base/ksmserver-3.5.13_p1183307
dev-libs/dbus-tqt-3.5.13
kde-base/drkonqi-3.5.13_p1183307
sys-devel/gdb-7.2
kde-base/kcheckpass-3.5.13_p1183307
sys-libs/pam-1.1.5
kde-base/kcontrol-3.5.13_p1183307
net-fs/samba-3.5.11
virtual/libusb-0
dev-libs/libusb-0.1.12-r5 [or]
dev-libs/libusb-compat-0.1.3 [or]
sys-freebsd/freebsd-lib-9.0_rc1
sys-libs/libraw1394-2.0.4
kde-base/kdeprint-3.5.13_p1183307
app-text/enscript-1.6.4-r4
app-text/psutils-1.17
kde-base/kdm-3.5.13_p1183307
kde-base/kdebase-pam-7
sys-apps/dbus-1.4.16

media-libs/openexr-1.7.0
dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-r4
I haven't included dependencies which are part of X, or individual
applications inside kdebase that have no additional dependencies. Since
I hand-installed a minimal system, these are likely all mandatory or
close to. Some dependencies may be missing: the same package for
KDE 3.5.10 also lists freetype, fontconfig, openssl, perl, opengl,
cups, eject, openldap, lm_sensors, glib, and a jre. Some of those are
likely optional, though.
Dependencies:
Build order presumed to be as listed (please correct!):
tqt3 or qt3 (is there a reason to build the latter rather than the former?)
tqtinterface (required)
arts (required)
Recommended, rather--there is a flag for building without it, and everything
does work as far as I can tell.
dbus-1-tqt (required?)
dbus-tqt (required?)
One or both (I can't tell, because the packages aren't handled quite the same
way for me) is required by ksmserver, as above.
libart-lgpl (required?/recommended?)
Dependency for kdelibs, ksvg, kdeartwork-kscreensaver, possibly some others
I don't have installed. Unless there's some way of building kdelibs without it,
I think we can call it "required".
libkdcraw (recommended? which packages?)
I'm not sure how many of these are KDE4 results, since I don't have
the relevant packages installed and so am not sure of the versioning,
but a query turned up calligra, krita, digikam, and kphotoalbum as
depending on libkdcraw.
(I can give a shot at the other packages, but at >15 minutes to go through
the entire Gentoo package tree for each library (assuming that the package
names even match up and that the search doesn't crash out), I sure hope
that someone else has a better idea.)
