Dear List, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to install Gentoo on a headless machine. I want programs to |
| 4 |
use the X libraries, so that I can SSH in from another machine and use X |
| 5 |
over TCP, but I'm not too fond of installing the entire X package |
| 6 |
(especially the X server) on it, since it won't ever be used. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
However, I just tried to install a couple of program linking against GTK |
| 9 |
(such avahi), and GTK, for some reason, tries to pull in lots of stuff |
| 10 |
that I don't really want (among others, the X server). Looking in the |
| 11 |
GTK ebuild, I found this: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |

| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I even emerged all those X11 dependencies myself, but even then, it |
| 49 |
wants to emerge xorg-server. The first few lines of the output of |
| 50 |
"emerge -tvp gtk+" look like this: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.19 USE="X jpeg -debug -doc -tiff |
| 53 |

| 60 |

| 61 |
|
| 62 |
I'm not an expert with portage, but the fact that xorg-server is |
| 63 |
indented one space from gtk+ means that gtk+ depends on it directly, |
| 64 |
doesn't it? If so, whence does that dependency come from (it's obviously |
| 65 |
not on the DEPEND or RDEPEND variables)? |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Please help me -- what should I do to make gtk+ only pull in the minimal |
| 68 |
amount of deps? |
| 69 |
|

Thanks for your time! |
