[gentoo-user] gtk+ dependency problem

[gentoo-user] gtk+ dependency problem

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,


I'm just installing some X applications on an headless machine
and I'd like to have only the xlib client libs, no server stuff.

The problem is: the non-deterministic dependencies to the X libs
get resolved badly - it always wants to install the Xserver.

How can stop it from doing that (without manually tweaking
the portage tree) ?

Lack of determinism has nothing to do with it, gtk+ hard-depends on an X 
server to build. I think this is fixed in 2.10, but the ebuild does not 
reflect it -- it still inherits the virtualx eclass.

Just set USE="minimal -xorg -kdrive -dmx" for xorg-server and you'll be 
doing the best you can.

Thanks,
Donnie

I've built it without any server stuff about an year ago. 
(vanilla, not gentoo).

In other words, the ebuilt is still broken ?

I don't want to have an Xserver at all, so it doesn't anyting.

I'll better fix it.

It requires Xvfb to build and install correctly, at least up until 2.10. 
If you want more info, search bugzilla or ask the gnome team -- I'm sure 
someone else has filed a bug about this at some point.

Thanks,

Eh ? I've always built vanilla gtk w/o any server stuff.

Couldn't find anything. Perhaps you've got some pointer ?

No, I don't, or I would have given it to you. Instead, I told you where
to look and what to do next if you cannot find anything there.

Thanks,

I tried look in bugzilla, but could find anything usefu,
I'll have a try via google, hoping bugs.gentoo.org is indexed.
