I agree that Carla has a long list of deps. However, it is worth building
on one's own system and excluding some features. This is very easy to do,
if Carla doesn't find a depend, it just leaves features requiring those
depends out. This does mean the user does have to:
- build their own
- know what they need
- know why they are using Carla in the first place
- understand that Carla _tries_ to make up for the mistakes
of plugin developers or distro packagers. It is a tool
to make the best of a broken situation.
In general, a better solution is to use the OS the plugin is made for or
use plugins made for your OS of choice.
