Hi! |

Quite a number of packages support a X USE flag. The |
| 4 |
package that I'm right now looking at is vlc: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
[ebuild R ] media-video/vlc-0.8.4a USE="alsa arts cdda dvd esd ffmpeg matroska mp3 mpeg nls nsplugin ogg real vlm vorbis win32codecs wxwindows |
| 7 |
xml2 xv -3dfx -X -a52 -aac -aalib -avahi -bidi -corba -daap -debug -dts -dvb -fbcon -flac -ggi -gnutls -hal -httpd -joystick -libcaca -lirc -live -mod |
| 8 |
-ncurses -opengl -oss -png -samba -screen -sdl -shout -skins -speex -stream -svg -svga -theora -truetype -v4l -vcd -xinerama -xosd" 0 kB |
| 9 |
|

As you can see, I built vlc with USE=-X. What am I |
| 11 |
now missing? When I startup vlc, I still have a X |
| 12 |
GUI. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
A different example - gnupg: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
[ebuild R ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.2-r3 USE="X caps* ecc* idea* nls readline static* usb zlib -bzip2* -curl* -ldap -smartcard" 21 kB |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
As you can see here, gnupg is built with the flag X set. |
| 19 |
What has been enabled with that? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Also quite a number of libraries support X, like |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libbonoboui-2.10.1-r1 (0) |
| 24 |
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.12.0 (0) |
| 25 |
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libgtop-2.12.2 (2) |
| 26 |
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libglade-0.17-r6 (0) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
What do all of these do with X? And what would go away |
| 29 |
if X were disabled (-X)? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Thanks, |
