 |

Okay, I tried to emerge samba and it wanted to install all kinds of unnecessary bullshit. Take a look:
| Code: | joe@chianti ~ $ sudo emerge -p samba
Password:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.22
[ebuild N ] media-libs/jpeg-6b-r5
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6
[ebuild N ] virtual/x11-6.8
[ebuild N ] app-arch/rpm2targz-9.0-r3
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/utempter-0.5.5.6
[ebuild N ] x11-terms/xterm-204
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/motif-config-0.9
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/openmotif-2.2.3-r8
[ebuild N ] app-text/xpdf-3.01-r3
[ebuild N ] media-libs/tiff-3.7.3
[ebuild N ] net-print/cups-1.1.23-r4
[ebuild N ] net-fs/samba-3.0.14a-r2 |
Here is the output of /etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
USE="dvd imap bind ssl cups dvdr cdr -X -gnome -kde -jpeg -png -qt -gpm -ipv6 -tiff"
MAKEPOTS="-j2"
CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" |
I SPECIFICALLY excluded X, tiff, jpeg, etc., yet it still wants to install all of this crap. WHY?
As always, any help would be appreciated.

| I suspect you have set the USE flag "motif". See the output of "emerge -pvt samba" to determine, which ebuild has X as dependency. |

My USE flags are above and I don't. Once again, here is the relevant portion of /etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
USE="dvd imap bind ssl cups dvdr cdr -X -x11 -gnome -kde -jpeg -png -qt -gpm -ipv6 -tiff ncurses tar"
|
Here is the USE output of "emerge --info." Where is it getting this?
| Code: |
USE="x86 alsa apm arts avi berkdb bind bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups dvd dvdr eds emboss encode expat foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gstreamer gtk gtk2 imap imlib libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl python quicktime readline sdl spell ssl tar tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc"
|
I even tried it this way:
| Code: |
chianti joe # USE="-motif -x -xml2 -jpeg -pdf -pdflib -tiff" emerge -pvt samba
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

and it still wants to install xpdf, which of course depends on X! It seems like it has a mind of its own and that it's ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED to install X or something upon which X is a dependency. This machine is a server and I neither need nor want X on it. It's starting to look, though, like I am going to have to bite the bullet and let portage do what it wants, but I don't want to. If I wanted an OS that would force me to install a whole bunch of crap I don't want or need, I'd run Windows! |

| Try it again from the command line with a capital X? It looks like you have a capital X in the make.conf so that shouldn't be a problem...but it's something to try. I was using lowercase x for a bit. |

If you definitely don't want X installed, I find that masking it usually gives more immediate information on something bringing it in as a dependency. Try adding it to /etc/portage/package.mask, and see if that gives you more info on what's going on when you retry the emerge:
| Code: | | echo x11-base/xorg-x11 >> /etc/portage/package.mask |

Nope. And it wants to install xpdf and tifflib in direct derogation of the USE flags!
| Code: |
chianti linux # USE="-motif -X -xml2 -jpeg -pdf -pdflib -tiff" emerge -pvt samba

Any ideas? Like I said, if I wanted all of this crap I don't need and am not going to use, I'd install Windows! |

| It's cups that's causing all that stuff to be emerged, not Samba. |

| If you install an up to date version of cups, there won't be an xpdf dependency and thus no X. |
