Hi, a USENET posting of a user, looking for a global make variable to prevent building of x11 based software, caused me to look how to do it best with FreeBSD. Maybe he came from Gentoo Linux ;-)
At the moment I only found the variable WITHOUT_X11. But its only for ports, that can be built optionally with and without X11 support. It doesn't hinder directly to built x11 stuff using ports collection. Would we have to invent new global make variables and a new logic in bsd.port.mk or is there a more easier way with existing knobs that I perhaps overlooked ? IMHO a global make variable NO_X11 or something like this would need to be added and some logic that then still allows to build ports, that optionally can be built without x11 support. So NO_X11 should automatically set WITHOUT_X11, so that approx 250 ports (that use WITHOUT_X11) still could be built.
