Hi folks,
I'm just installing some X applications on an headless machine
and I'd like to have only the xlib client libs, no server stuff.
The problem is: the non-deterministic dependencies to the X libs
get resolved badly - it always wants to install the Xserver.
Lack of determinism has nothing to do with it, gtk+ hard-depends on an X
server to build. I think this is fixed in 2.10, but the ebuild does not
reflect it -- it still inherits the virtualx eclass.
Just set USE="minimal -xorg -kdrive -dmx" for xorg-server and you'll be
doing the best you can.
Thanks,
Donnie
