Packages

Build-time-only Perl tool (icon-name-mapping) required by mate-icon-theme's configure. Needs XML::Simple, which LinuxDoors lacks -- build.sh cpanm's it into a scratch PERL5LIB (pure-perl, uses the already-present XML::Parser backend). Not shipped in the ISO.

BLFS general/icu.html. Recommended by both Node.js (--with-intl=system-icu) and Firefox. Tarball expands to a top-level 'icu' directory, source lives in icu/source.

BLFS general/imath.html -- Imath (half/vector/matrix math from OpenEXR). Required by Kdenlive 26.08 (find_package(Imath REQUIRED)) for its OpenTimelineIO import/export. ship_in_iso=false (Kdenlive stack = packages only). Plain CMake, --libdir=lib, python bindings off.

LFS ch8. Skips the optional make check.

BLFS general/inih.html (tiny .INI file parser, produces libinih.so + libINIReader.so). Second real dependency exiv2's CMakeLists.txt hard-requires despite BLFS listing it as merely 'Recommended' -- same gotcha as brotli (see packages/brotli/metadata.json), caught by a real 'inih library not found' CMake configure failure, not guessed.

BLFS. Required by lightdm's build. Applies BLFS's Perl 5.22+ compatibility sed fix to intltool-update.in. Skips the optional make check and the I18N-HOWTO doc install.

LFS ch8. No configure step. Skips the optional docs install. || 7.2.0 -> 7.3.0 (2026-10-23, v1.55); sha256 matches kernel.org sha256sums.asc.

Extra (BLFS), needed by ufw. --disable-nftables per BLFS (legacy iptables backend).

BLFS general-libraries. Country/language/currency name databases -- required by libxklavier, needed by lightdm's own configure (not just the greeter). Skips the optional ninja test.

BLFS pst/itstool. Required by lightdm's build. Skips 'python3 tests/run_tests.py' (needs docbook-xml, which we don't build) -- that's BLFS's test step, not part of the actual install.

LFS ch8. Python package built as a wheel and pip-installed offline. Needed by systemd's build (template rendering).

BLFS general/json-c.html (plain C JSON library -- not to be confused with json-glib, which is a separate GLib-based JSON library used by gegl). Required by libmypaint, itself required by GIMP for its native brush engine. Skips the test suite and the optional Doxygen-based HTML docs.

BLFS general/json-glib.html. Needed by gegl (required dependency per BLFS general/gegl.html), which is itself needed by GIMP. Skips the test suite -- BLFS's own page notes one test ('node') is a known failure anyway.

KDE Plasma 6.7.4 component for the LinuxDoors KDE desktop. ship_in_iso=false -- KDE Plasma is a Packages-page / Package Manager install, deliberately kept off linuxdoors.iso (XFCE + MATE are the shipped desktops). Built on .101 against the existing KF6 6.29 + Qt6 (/opt/qt6-full) stack from the Kdenlive work. || 6.7.4 -> 6.7.5 (2026-09-14 real upstream-currency bump, real sha256 computed -- no published checksum from KDE's release-service, only a detached .asc signature, so archive integrity was verified with `xz -t` first, same approach as kdenlive/mesa).

KDE Frameworks 6 (6.29.0) / Kdenlive dependency. Not in BLFS as its own page. ship_in_iso=false -- the whole Kdenlive stack is packages-only, kept out of linuxdoors.iso. ECM+CMake+Ninja, Qt6 from the deployed /opt/qt6-full, --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

KDE Frameworks 6 (6.29.0) / Kdenlive dependency. Not in BLFS as its own page. ship_in_iso=false -- the whole Kdenlive stack is packages-only, kept out of linuxdoors.iso. ECM+CMake+Ninja, Qt6 from the deployed /opt/qt6-full, --libdir=lib for LinuxDoors' non-multiarch layout.

LFS ch8. --disable-vlock since vlock needs PAM, not available in this build. Skips the optional test suite and docs install.
