icedtea

I'm trying to build dev-java/icedtea on a server (to run a Minecraft server). Is there any way to have it not pull in cups and a bunch of X11 libraries? I tried disabling all of its use flags, but it still wants cups and gtk+ and stuff for some reason.

At least for icedtea-7.2.4.7, cups will not be pulled in with USE="-X -cups".

Are you bootstrapping icedtea with gcj-jdk?

I'm not using gcj, no. emerge --tree indicates that cups is being pulled in directly by icedtea-7.2.4.7 despite USE=-cups.

It must be USE="-X -cups". Disabling cups alone is not enough.

If you are not using gcj to bootstrap, then icedtea-bin will be used instead, which may come with different dependencies.

Those are hardcoded build dependencies. They're not used at runtime without those use flags but there's no way to avoid them (other than using icedtea 6, and a really old version of it at that).
