Re: [gentoo-user] building without X

[Jean-Francois Gagnon Laporte <kioshen@gmail.com>]

Hi !

First questions ....

What do you want exactly ? Do you need X support or not ? If you do
not, well remove those use flags qt gtk gtk2 since they need an X
server anyway to function. Since you are building a server, may I
suggest putting -* at the front of your use flags to make sure you
don't have some obscure use flags. Instead of putting your settings
from make.conf try putting `emerge info`. It really gives what are the
currently active settings of portage so to speak.

Might want to read this too :
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/109647

Anyway, I really don't understand your problem. Let's start again,
post clearly what your problem is or what you really want (For
example, I don't want any X support but it tries to emerge it and it
even fails preventing me from continuing my updates. Here's my setup
(emerge info) and here's what portage is trying to acheive (emerge
-Udpvt world). Post the results of `emerge info` and `emerge -uDpvt`
if you were trying to update your server.

Cheers !

Jean-Francois
