I have been trying to figure out a way to install wine, but without X. I tried installing from ports, but I couldn't see an obvious way to to avoid all the mainly X-related dependencies being built. Searching around I see there is some talk of being able to do this with Linux, but I am not nearly knowledgeable enough to be confident mucking about with Makefiles etc to try and reproduce the necessary steps. Surely someone else (who knows what they're doing!) has trodden this path before me? In case you're wondering why I want to do this, it is for a render slave for the renderer Vray. It consists of a single Windows executable which has absolutely no visible output at all for the user - it is not strictly a Windows service, but is more or less daemon-like. I know it works with wine under Linux, so assume it will work under FreeBSD, but I *really* want to avoid installing X on all the boxes in question, as it is so clearly unnecessary in this case. Any pointers gratefully received. Barnaby Scott
