Hi Maintainers
Installing the build dependency fpc takes up about 400MB of disk space
and pulls in fp-docs and fpc-source. Minimizing this to only the
packages required:
fp-compiler
fp-units-misc
fp-units-gfx
...only takes up around 50MB of space.
I have recently made similar changes to doublecmd and ddrescueview.
You will also need to adjust the check in debian/rules when setting
BUILD_ENGINE_C. Instead of checking whether package fpc is installed,
maybe just check for the existence of /usr/bin/fpc ?
However, looking at hedgewars' build logs, it appears that it FTBFS
everywhere without a Pascal compiler anyway, so maybe just always depend
on the Pascal dependencies and always set BUILD_ENGINE_C := NO .

Graham
