ReillyBrogan created an issue (vim/vim#20268)Steps to reproduce
After switching to the GTK4 UI our ABI analysis tools indicated that vim is no longer linked to the following:
- libICE
- libSM
- libX11
- libXt
Which to me indicates that the functionality provided by those libs is no longer used with the GTK4 UI. If that's the case then best practice would be that the configure script checks for those libs should be disabled if the GTK4 UI is detected/chosen so that packagers don't pull unnecessary builddeps into their build root.
Expected behaviour
Unnecessary dependencies should not be checked for by configure script.
Version of Vim
9.2.0502
Environment
Operating System: AerynOS
