Bug 131336 – ecore-9999 pulls virtual/x11 even with -X

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pierre Cassimans 2006-04-26 06:47:07 UTC]

When trying to emerge ecore-9999 it wants to pull in virtual/x11 even with the X Use flag unset.

Yes, it depends either on modular X libs/protos or on virtual/x11. The dependencies are not optional. 

Not a bug, closing.

So is this a problem for upstream? Ecore and evas can work on the framebuffer, so why would i have to pull in X on that box if i don't need it?

As already said, it can either use the needed modular X libs/protos or xorg-x11 to compile. If you don't want X server, put the modular ebuilds into package.keywords.
