Bug Description

I want to build unity-2d from source on Gentoo Linux 64bit.
I get the source via
'bzr branch lp:unity-2d/4.0'
Configuring with cmake doesn't give me any chance to not depend on utouch-geis.
As utouch-geis is only a '(Gesture Engine Interface and Support) interface' I don't think it is very smart to depend hardly on that.
So is there a way to configure the sources, so that they are not linked against utouch-geis?

(I tried to install utouch-geis but it failed and now utouch-geis is 'half-installed' so that I downloaded for example geisimpl. and copied it to /usr/include/ and cmake thinks that utouch-geis is installed, but unity-2d can't link against it.)

=> So is there any way to not depend on utouch-geis that I didn't recognize?

Sorry Seifenspender but the code has a hard dependency on utouch-geis. It would take some ifdefs to make it optional. Unfortunately this is not really high priority for me right now.
