That's exactly what I do NOT want. All this extra compile-time crap for CUPS, which blows a giant security hole in anything it touches. Sorry, YAHOO doesn't bottom-post, and my sub still has too many leaky portholes to trust it with my mail. ________________________________ From: Ian Darwin <i...@darwinsys.com> To: John Doe <jl2...@yahoo.com> Cc: "ports@openbsd.org" <ports@openbsd.org> Sent: Friday, January 27, 2012 11:01 AM Subject: Re: I really, really hate CUPS
If you can't figure this out on your own, go away, and just use packages. > KDE4?doesn't need a no-cups flavor.

For any build dependency: $Depends works better with $Dependency if it can use the $Dependency API. For that, the $Dependency header files need to be installed before $Depends is built. The packages don't necessarily have to be there at run time, that is the beauty of our build system: people that USE PACKAGES (yes, that is a hint) don't have to deal with this stuff. There are no packages for KDE4 for reasons that have already been explained here. If you can't live without the bloatware that is KDE4, you'll have to use a different operating system. Maybe kubuntu would suit your needs.
