Hello,
context: freebsd-12 r336215 arm64
I don't want xorg or X11 or any of its components installed on this
system. I install ports in the traditional way, in other words cd port
&& make config && make install. Any ports that in a generic config want
to install xorg libs, I want the no-x11 variant.
There used to be a way to enforce this no-xorg in make.conf but looking
at /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf I can find no reference to X Xorg
x11 or xorg. I presume there's a new method. If there is, can anyone
please tell me how?
thanks,
Try this in /etc/make.conf. It doesn't forbid ports from bringing in
X11 dependencies, but where doing that is optional, it turns it off:
OPTIONS_UNSET?= X11
All that does is pre-answer the configuration dialogue to say "turn off
X11 support." That's enough to avoid bringing in X in many cases, but
it's no guarrantee unfortunately. Some things just have a fixed
dependency on X11. Note too that various ports will now fail to
compile, because they expect their dependencies somewhere down the tree
to have the X11 support that this turns off.
Also, if you're an emacs user, then
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= emacs=nox
would probably interest you.
Cheers,
Matthew
