Hello!

I was wondering, is it really necessary to install all this stuff in order to get murmur running on my server, which doesn't have an X server installed?
Code:
# emerge -pv murmur

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Has anyone got this to work without all that stuff?

Cheers,

Hi R!tman,
Murmur was written in qt4.
That's why.

The problem is that murmur is written using QT, which is primarily a windowing framework (yes, it can be used very successfully for non-X stuff, but it basic genesis was GUI's), so that's the main problem. QT itself depends directly on a load of X libraries without the option of turning off those dependencies with a use flag.
These are runtime dependencies as well, so you can't even reliably remove them afterwards. However, if you're not using X at all, and murmur is the only QT application, you can experiment with removing some of those extra packages, but to be honest it's a lot of work that's likely to break you at some random point in the past. Not to mention that these libraries will keep coming back :/

I think for murmur, you'll just have to live with the extra bloat. It's down to the decision by the murmur authors to use QT, QT is a fairly heavyweight framework.

Thanks for your replies!

I've got a static precompiled version of murmur running right now without having any qt deps and without qt itself installed... but it's simply not the gentoo way ;-)!

I noticed it's qt based, however, for a server application this seem a little counter-intuitive, at least to me!

Hmm... well, I guess I'll have to live with that :-(, since I _really_ don't want to install all that stuff on my small (and slow) home server.
