Well, if you need help compiling, it would help if you posted the errors it gives you when you try.

Now, I don't use beryl or -current, so I have no idea if it will work, but it should ... unless there's some special reason.

I just finished about 20 minutes ago.

No problems.
I built:
pyrex
beryl-core
beryl-settings-bindings

Then installed a binary of pygtk because I didn't want to deal with it (This is the package: http://www.mytux.org/include/downloa...d=109&type=pkg.)

I imagine I would have had a bunch of dependencies if it tried to compile this.
beryl-settings
beryl-manager
beryl-settings-simple
beryl-plugins
and

aquamarine

I installed all that without GNOME deps running Gentoo. You don't have use flags but can't you tell ./configure to skip certain things? Like in StepMania I told ./configure --without-gtk and I didn't have to install GTK to get it.

You should get into the habit of running:

./configure --help

Before compiling any source package. There are often a lot of things you can exclude to avoid dependency issues or bloat.

You can't exclude glib or pkg-config...those are required to compile nearly any software.

Why would glib or pkg-config be a problem?
Code:
truthfatal@Neverwinter:~$ find /home/ftp -name "glib-*"
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/slackware/l/glib-1.2.10-i486-3.tgz
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/slackware/l/glib-1.2.10-i486-3.tgz.asc
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/slackware/l/glib-1.2.10-i486-3.txt
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/source/l/glib/glib-1.2.10.tar.bz2
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/source/l/glib2/glib-2.12.9.tar.bz2
truthfatal@Neverwinter:~$ls /var/log/packages/ | grep glib-1.2
glib-1.2.10-i486-3
truthfatal@Neverwinter:~$ find /home/ftp -name "pkg-config-*"
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/slackware/d/pkg-config-0.21-i486-4.tgz
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/slackware/d/pkg-config-0.21-i486-4.tgz.asc
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/slackware/d/pkg-config-0.21-i486-4.txt
/home/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/source/d/pkg-config/pkg-config-0.21.tar.bz2
truthfatal@Neverwinter:~$ ls /var/log/packages/ | grep pkg-config pkg-config-0.21-i486-4
truthfatal@Neverwinter:~$
nothing asked me for intltool

The only dependencies I ran into doing what was essentially ./configure && make && make install on beryl 0.2.1 was Pyrex and pygtk.
Pyrex had no deps, and I just ran ./configure on a fresh d/l of pygtk-2.8.6 and didn't get any failures.

it looks like it wants glib-2

checking for BERYLSETTINGS... configure: error: Package requirements (berylsettings >= 0.1.2 glib-2.0 >= 2.6 x11 ) were not met:

No package 'berylsettings' found

edit: i have the core and the manager built fine with out any deps

Anything that uses GTK2 needs pkg-config to configure and glib-2 also. Dont't forget atk, pnago and cairo.
I run a completely GTK-1.2 desktop but also compile GTK2 and gnome apps. The extra packages need fro compiling gtk2 apps are:
pkg-config
glib2
gtk2
atk
pango
cairo

When I'm not compiling for gtk2 I remove pkg-config and the gtk-2 libs. Many programs can use either gtk1 or gtk2 or gnome, depending on if the y are found on your system. In these cases configure looks for pkg-config before looking for gtk-config/glib-config. If it finds pkg-config it will assume that you have and want to compile with gtk2. Many packages that use gnome are the same -if they find gnome they'll use it.
Not all configure routines and sources give you the same amount of control.

I'm not sure I see the concern over installing glib2 and friends. They aren't gnome deps perse. They are basic programs that should be on every single distro out there. Now if beryl started complaining about Orbit2 and gnome-session, then I'd get a little pissy but glib2, cairo, pango, atk, gtk2 are all esential progs that should be installed on any distro you run IMO... Pat stopped building Gnome but he still builds the above packages.....
