Ticket #17688 (closed defect: invalid)
OS X 'native' kdebase4 applications have hidden X11 dependencies

| Port: | kdebase4 |
Description
After building the kdebase4 port trying to start any of the applications (kwrite, dolphin etc.) triggers X11 to start. In addition the applications fail to start properly and hang. Killing the X11 application sometimes causes the application to continue loading.
These applications should be OS X native (they depend on no X11 applications and use qt4-mac) so it looks like some X11 dependency is accidentally being compiled in somewhere ?

Sure I'll try it out thanks... But, I'm not sure how to do this ?? Could you point me towards some documentation ?
cheers Chris

Thanks for the instructions. I had also to do a
sudo port uninstall kdebase4
before I could install the newly compiled version though.
Unfortunately, it hasn't helped with the X11 problem. I have the same symptoms as before, starting ny KDE4 applications causes X11 to start, and the applications do not start properly.
Should I recompile anything else ? kdelibs4 ? Do I need kdebase4-runtime ?

Might be something other library linking to X11. Unless you can find out what specifically is linking to X I'm going to leave this one alone. FWIW I used to get this error too. My solution was to move X from /usr/X11 and then compile KDE :-) You may be able to get away with changing the location of X11 pointed to in macports.conf also. Oh, running 'otool -L /path/to/library' will list everything that is linked to. This should help you hunt down the problem if you really want to. I'm in #kde-mac on freenode also if you fancy some real time "fun" :-)

- Status changed from assigned to closed
- Resolution set to invalid
I think this is because dbus was compile w/ x11. recompile w/ +no_x11. Either way. closing as invalid. Re-open if you get more info.

It is. I think it's a problem with the dbus port. X11 should not be the default! In fact, it wasn't till some month ago to "fix" a problem with an x11 app! See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16755#comment:36 for more.

This works for me too. X11 no longer starts when I try and start KDE4 apps. Unfortunately, the KDE4 applications still do not start up correctly. For one, all the icons are missing. What package do I need to install for the KDE4 artwork. Maybe I should start another ticket for this issue ...

Also giflib also pulls in X11 dependencies _if_ it can't find X when it is being installed. For me specifically, /opt/local/lib/libX11.6.dylib .

Please try the dbus port in #17950, it uses launchd the storing the session bus address instead of X11.

The port has been committed. Please update dbus and report any problems.
