[gentoo-user] How can I get java compiler without x11?

[gentoo-user] How can I get java compiler without x11?

[michael]

I've damaged my gentoo system while cleaning up a little too aggressively, and
I'm missing libdb so Apache won't run.

   emerge sys-libs/db

failed due to missing the java compiler, javac. It seems that in order to get
javac, I need to emerge the whole java IDE blackdown-jdk, which needs x11.

Is there a way to get the java compiler without installing x11?

Or am I misunderstanding something here?

Try adding "-X" to your USE flags.

HTH,

Add the following line to /etc/portage/package.use

sys-libs/db -java

This will disable the java USE flag for sys-libs/db, and will avoid
requiring java.

HTH.

Thanks Remy. That's exactly what I need. No need for x11 on a server only
system!

If you don't want X, then disable all X-related use-flags. The java
use-flag is _not_ X related, since all JRE/JDK ebuilds (at least those,
that i now) won't install X if the right use-flags are disabled.

javac will also start and work without any X installed.
