The SPIM build system requires imake and xmkmf which were only available through X up to this point. When the modular X is complete, imake and xmkmf will be available as seperate packages, depend on those rather than xorg-x11.
Just to update: these packages are now in the tree. It's sufficient to DEPEND on xmkmf, as it needs imake to function anyways.
*** Bug 119214 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 77281 [details, diff] patch to spim ebuilds for modular x support I'm posting here a fixed version of the patch from my bug which was marked a dup of this one. This fixes the imake dep as well as the library and header deps for modular X.
Oh, and BTW this should block #112675, not #112004. But I can't fix that. ;-(
fixed with -r3.
