Note that this package recommends that you install a C compiler. A C compiler will certainly be necessary if you want to use Inline to do programming in C. However, a C compiler is not necessary if you're using Inline with some other language, or if you are using a program, such as grepmail, that is compiled using Inline::MakeMaker and ships the compiled C code. Therefore, this package does not depend on a C compiler, it only recommends one. -- Joey Hess
