Cairo should allow building +quartz +atsui without X11 present

[drernie@…]

Right now, the Cairo Portfile always requires xrender, and thus X11. When using the +quartz (and maybe +atsui) options, that should no longer be necessary. xrender should either become part of a (default) X11 variant, or be removed by +quartz.

I'd be happy to submit a patch if I knew which way was recommended.

+quartz and +atsui only add Quartz and ATSUI support, respectively, to the cairo port. They do not remove the xlib and freetype support, hence the X libraries are still required.

Default variants are buggy in MacPorts, so I don't want to use those.

If you can find a way to build cairo with Quartz and/or ATSUI support that doesn't require the X libraries, then the way to implement it would be a +no_x11 variant that turns off the X support. If you have a patch for that, I'd be happy to review it.

variant no_x11 require +quartz, +atsui {

depends_lib-delete port:xrender port:render configure.args-append --disable-xlib

}

Added +no_x11 variant in r29849. Thanks!
