Hi, |

In media-libs/gdk-pixbuf a nice way to make the building work without X |
4 |
is used using the Xvfb server. |
5 |
|
6 |
When I su to root to do maintenance I often set DISPLAY=:0.0 and |
7 |
XAUTHORITY=~myuser/.Xauthority instead of alowing every user on this |
8 |
computer to use X with 'xhost localhost'. (I get nervous when remote |
9 |
login users start peeking at me with xeyes when I am working ;-) |
10 |
|
11 |
The gdk-pixbuf ebuild fails on this setup because XAUTHORITY is set and |
12 |
Xvfb then reports 'connection refused'. It is a nice work-around to make |
13 |
the ebuild work without X, but I think it should test DISPLAY and if it |
14 |
is set presume it is OK. If not set, use the work around. |

Best regards |
