Unexpected dependency on A3_Ui_F_Data added to cba_ui

[Killswitch00]

The 2.4.0.160530 cba_ui.pbo has a dependency on A3_Ui_F_Data that is not there in the source file. This causes problems with the 1.54 Linux/MacOS ports - "A3_Ui_F_Data" is a new thing for A3 v1.60.

Possible build issue.

open pboPrject -> setup -> uncheck setting and close pboProject
make.py will build with that setting

I wonder why the tools add this as requirement. With or without it there are no UBC warnings. And A3_Ui_F_Data doesn't even have a config besides CfgPatches.

Technically, cba_ui should depend on A3_Ui_F (cba_ui references RscText and RscShortcutButton which are, as far as I can tell, defined in A3_Ui_F (aka ui_f.pbo). As to why proProject adds A3_Ui_F_Data could be because that addon (in 1.60) depends on A3_Ui_F, which is backwards - it is the config in ui_f.pbo that references files in ui_f_data.pbo.

What happens if we add A3_Ui_F to the list of dependencies in cba_ui.pbo and run pboProject with "rebuild requiredAddons[]=" checked? Would it still rewrite requiredAddons in cba_ui?

Here is the response from MikeRo, creator of pboProject:
"Let them know that, as per the readme, pboProject will honor any hard-wired dependencies pre-stated in requiredaddons." -MikeRo
