 Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2002 12:47 pm Post subject: how NOT to install X??? |
 |
|
Hi,
I am having a difficult time installing gentoo WITHOUT any x-windows stuff on it. Reason: The machine doesn't need it.
So.. everything that is even slightly X-ish is in the USE var (-X -KDE -qt ect).
However....
When trying to install w3m, it insists on adding the whole of XF86 to the emerge list...
How to prevent that from happening?
I want to install w3m for the textbrowsing capabilities, not for the added bennefit of having X installed, and yes, I know, I can use lynx too, but I want w3m (spoiled brat, I know).
So, to sum it all up: How to tell gentoo that I don't want any X stuff on my machine.
Thanks.

Try using '-imlib' as one of your USE variables. imlib is a compile-time option for w3m and, if you use it, it drags in all of X.

You could always emerge -p and see if something wants X; if so, less the ebuild, and see what USE settings it acknowledges until you remove X support (if at all possible). It's not fun, but it's not hard either.

if you don't want to have an application to use anything, like installing w3m, mc or php without x11, simply read the documentation for the USE-Variable (THIS TOPIC IS COVERED THERE) or use the following command:
| Code: | | USE="-*" emerge net-www/w3m |
