Subject: X client without X server
Hi,
Is there a way to install an X client without automatically install an
X server?
On all my systems, I throw xterm and emacs, as the primary tools I use
for management, but the display is always remote, I never, ever, run X
on the machine, but still it install X server, fonts and a lot of
useless junk like xcalc.
Is there a way to install xterm and only the libraries that are needed
to run xterm?
TIA,
Olivier
I've been doing this for years.
What's the problem?
Just install xterm, or whatever you need.
All the necessary libs will be pulled in, e.g.:
$ pkg info -xd xterm
xterm-293:
xproto-7.0.24
xextproto-7.2.1
renderproto-0.11.1
printproto-1.0.5
libxcb-1.9.1
libXrender-0.9.8
libXpm-3.5.10
libXp-1.0.2,1
libXext-1.3.2,1
libXdmcp-1.1.1
libXau-1.0.8
libX11-1.6.0,1
libSM-1.2.1,1
libICE-1.0.8,1
kbproto-1.0.6
libXt-1.1.4,1
libXmu-1.1.1,1
libXaw-1.0.11,2
libXft-2.3.1
fontconfig-2.9.0,1
expat-2.0.1_2
freetype2-2.4.12_1
pkgconf-0.9.2_1
pcre-8.33
libpthread-stubs-0.3_3
Obviously xterm does not depend on xorg-server.
