I've had a report that building racket without X doesn't work if
cairo is not installed. Presumably in this mode it should not need
cairo, right?
Libraries like `racket/draw` and `slideshow/pict` don't need X --
they can produce PDFs or PNGs or other formats, but they do rely on
cairo.
IIUC, Marijn is talking about the required libraries for compiling
Racket, and since cairo is used in the doc build, it is needed, which
(at least in the Fedora package I have) means that you also need to
have X installed.
Marijn: if this is a problem, you might get around it by avoiding the
documentation build, but maybe not -- I think that the icon build also
requires it.
Anything that renders icons at compile time needs Cairo. That includes
DrRacket, the macro stepper, algebraic stepper, optimization coach, etc.
