Reviewing configure: if test "$want_tools" = "no" -a "$softmmu" = "no"; then pixman_cflags= pixman_libs= elif $pkg_config --atleast-version=0.21.8 pixman-1 > /dev/null 2>&1; then pixman_cflags=$($pkg_config --cflags pixman-1) pixman_libs=$($pkg_config --libs pixman-1) pixman is only required when --enable-tools is set; which results in: if test "$want_tools" = "yes" ; then tools="qemu-img\$(EXESUF) qemu-io\$(EXESUF) $tools" if [ "$linux" = "yes" -o "$bsd" = "yes" -o "$solaris" = "yes" ] ; then tools="qemu-nbd\$(EXESUF) $tools" fi if [ "$ivshmem" = "yes" ]; then tools="ivshmem-client\$(EXESUF) ivshmem-server\$(EXESUF) $tools" fi fi the compilation of things that aren't even installed by the ebuild. The actual guest agent is controlled by --enable-guest-agent: if [ "$guest_agent" != "no" ]; then if [ "$linux" = "yes" -o "$bsd" = "yes" -o "$solaris" = "yes" -o "$mingw32" = "yes" ] ; then tools="qemu-ga $tools" guest_agent=yes which is completely independent of --enable-tools. The guest agent compiles and works fine without an X11 library and the dependency should be removed.

Oops, I see I didn’t explicitly mention that —disable-tools needs to be added to the configure parameters, sorry. —enable-tools is the default, without disabling it configure will complain it can’t find pixman. I looked at your diff and saw the dep was removed but configure args not updated; returning to the bug I see that’s my fault as I forgot to mention it :(. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for handling the bug report.

(In reply to Paul B. Henson from comment #2) > returning to the bug I see that’s my fault as I forgot to mention it :(. No worries. That's entirely my fault. Should be fixed now (this time checked without an already installed pixman...)
