Does sane really need gtk and x, or can a > FLAVOR (no x11?) work for this? Although GTK and X libraries are only used by GUI frontends, those are required to be built at one time. Fortunatelly, latest version of SANE is already devided to backends and frontends (although not commited to ports-current yet). If you really want to use SANE without GTK and X libraries, please wait for upgrading of ports-current. In addition, PR for upgrading graphics/sane port is available at following URL. You can get patch file included in that PR if you want to use it immmidiately. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23830 -- KATO Tsuguru / tkato@prontomail.ne.jp Sent by Japanese ProntoMail To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
