Description Philippe Lafoucrière 2003-09-26 08:41:43 UTC

I installed a server on little machine with no X. So I have USE="-X". I was
surprise of discovering the compilation of xfree when using emerging distcc. In
fact :
emerge -pv distcc

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/distcc-2.9  +gtk

If I don't want X, i don't want GTK too ! Maybe you should add a X flag to
distcc ebuild + the gtk one.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-X" emerge distcc
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
emerging xfree and a lot of stuff

Expected Results:  
just distcc installed !

imo this is invalid ... there are a ton of other ebuilds that use gtk but
not X to pull in gtk libraries ...

plus, if this is a 'server', then you should setup your USE more explicitly

This isn't a bug.  The option is to install the program with a gtk component,
not an X component.

Comment 3 Philippe Lafoucrière 2003-09-26 09:12:46 UTC

I was just wondering... I found strange to have xfree installed with USE="-X"
:(
I also have to add USE="-X -gtk -qt -..."
