#46856: add xvfb support to xorg-server package for proposed xvfb-run package to use ------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: howarth.at.macports@… | Owner: jeremyhu@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: xorg-server | ------------------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by howarth.at.macports@…): Replying to [comment:5 jeremyhu@…]:
Why do you need an X11 server at build time? That seems like an obvious bug in the build system to me.
The X11 accesses arise from the byte-compilation of the R code in rNMR.r during the execution of the R CMD Install command. I believe this is the nature of the beast and you really can't work around it short of resorting to xvfb-run or its equivalent . As I mentioned before, this is seen for all CRAN modules which access X11 graphics (e.g. as R modules cairodevice, gwidgetsrgtk2, tkrplot, etc). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46856#comment:7> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
