Description Chris Mayo 2004-05-02 04:16:28 UTC

It's possible to emerge vnc-3.3.7 without X installed, but not all the programs (e.g. vncpasswd) are then produced.

Should it depend on virtual/x11?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

i've forgot about comment. i haven't tested if that's true that vnc without X isn't install all programs. however - if that's true, i think that it should make use of X USE flag (and that's made by this patch)

Adding a couple of people who should know a little, since they both bumped it.

No, things should be done with a configure script using --with-foo and --without-foo. Using autodetection breaks things like building binaries and cross-compiling.

If you care to make a patch to force that behavior, feel free. Until then, I don't plan to do anything about this.

Thanks.
