Subject:   needing X on servers where you don't Want it

Hello,

I just recently came across a problem that i really wish could be worked
out without having to actually install X on a Server system:

- You want a system to be a dedicated web-server.
- You want to have Apache as your webserver, including it's GD support
- The GD-library seems to require the XPM-library
- The XPM-library has "USE_IMAKE=yes"
- To be able to use imake ..... Install X

Would it be possible to somehow create a port of Only the imake suite, so
ports that need imake to build their makefiles do not require the
full-blown X-suite to be installed. ?

the XPM-library is one of the entries i came across, and i am working on
some code (server-tool) myself right now that i at first wanted to use
imake for (because of its ease of use), but decided not to because of the
X-requirement.
