AW: [gentoo-user] gtk+ dependency problem

[Noack, Sebastian]

Hi,

`emerge --nodeps` let you install packages without its dependencies, but at least the other dependencies unless xorg-server are required for compiling xlib. So you would have to run `emerge --nodeps <all the dependencies which are really required> libX11`

would require me to handle dependencies manually. very bad hack.

I would also prefer to make an overlay from the ebuild and implement a
workaround, but you asked for a way without manipulating the portage
three.
