* Damien Miller [2007-05-10]: I'd be more happy with this argument if installing the necessary libraries didn't also install setuid X11 binaries. It doesn't have to be this way, I suggested an additional x-package just containing libraries and support files (maybe even only freetype and expat) before.

I really dislike the idea of installing binaries/libraries, which are not going to be used for a certain task/application. It's the same with the compiler; if you do not use it, do not install it. I am wondering what the reason is for abandoning expat from ports - Xenocara maybe? As a solution for my 'problem' I made changes to the expat-, and gettext-port.

Re: gettext and expat
I hesitate to mention this, but I think it should be mentioned. There is an expat in src/. What are the plans for that? Would solve a lot of `must install xbase in order to get expat' complaints. The counter is that one already installs xbase to get libs. I don't know if an `additional x-package' is clearly defined enough, and how surprised would people be if xbase suddenly stopped containing libs?

gettext and expat
I’m trying to install php5-core from ports. The build process makes use of gettext which on its turn makes use of lib-expat from X11-base. As I’m working on a web-server I have no need for X11 and thus I do not want to ‘install’ the source. Is there another option in acquiring expat which works with gettext (expat.8.0)? Kind Regards, Björn

From: Björn Ketelaars [EMAIL PROTECTED] I’m trying to install php5-core from ports. The build process makes use of gettext which on its turn makes use of lib-expat from X11-base. As I’m working on a web-server I have no need for X11 and thus I do not want to ‘install’ the source. Is there another option in acquiring expat which works with gettext (expat.8.0)? I assume you are using 4.1 (I currently use 4.0 where gettext/expat does not rely on X11). You could try one of the following: - use the package (ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/) - get VMWare, install OpenBSD with X11 support, compile the package on your own. no_x11 does not imply that X11 is not required at compilation time.
