Bug 110888 – lgeneral-1.2_beta8 requires X to install

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Tobias Brox 2005-10-30 05:49:16 UTC]

I'm not really sure if this is a bug or a feature :-)

When installing lgeneral-1.2_beta8 without having the DISPLAY environment
variable pointing to a X server accepting connections, it breaks just when
trying to install it.  The tail of the build process is not much helpful:

make[3]: Leaving directory
`/tmp/portage/lgeneral-1.2_beta8/work/lgeneral-1.2beta-8/src'
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/tmp/portage/lgeneral-1.2_beta8/work/lgeneral-1.2beta-8/src'
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/tmp/portage/lgeneral-1.2_beta8/work/lgeneral-1.2beta-8/src'
make[1]: Entering directory
`/tmp/portage/lgeneral-1.2_beta8/work/lgeneral-1.2beta-8'
make[2]: Entering directory
`/tmp/portage/lgeneral-1.2_beta8/work/lgeneral-1.2beta-8'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/portage/lgeneral-1.2_beta8/work/lgeneral-1.2beta-8'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/portage/lgeneral-1.2_beta8/work/lgeneral-1.2beta-8'
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

!!! ERROR: games-strategy/lgeneral-1.2_beta8 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 52, Exitcode 1
!!! Failed to generate scenario data.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

After granting it access to an X server, I could see a small window popping up
and disappearing again during the install process.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
I think this behaviour is silly - maybe it's a check asserting that we're
actually  running in an X environment?  I think it should be possible to compile
and install without X, i.e. for cross-compiling.  Eventually, such a check
should be fixed for all programs requireing X. :-)
