https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D269120 Bug ID: 269120 Summary: misc/mc: is nox11 variant really necessary? Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: danfe@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yury@shurup.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(danfe@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: danfe@FreeBSD.org Hi there, Honest question from the maintainer: is the nox11 variant really necessary? If --with-x is supplied, we will use X11 headers during build time, but at runtime X11 libraries will be dlopen'ed if available, but if not, mc will s= tart anyways with X11 support disabled. The same applies to aspell support. The reason why I'm asking is that some distros didn't know about this and thought that building mc with X11 will cause a runtime dependency, hence useless nox11 variants not having runtime dependency that wasn't there in t= he first place... not sure whether FreeBSD has its own reasons to have a separ= ate port (e.g. allow building on systems without X11 headers?). All the best, Yury --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
