Hi.

I have the following setup for my non-X11 emacs:

% cat /var/db/ports/emacs/options
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for emacs-23.2_4,2
_OPTIONS_READ=emacs-23.2_4,2
WITHOUT_CANNA=true
WITH_DBUS=true
WITH_GCONF=true
WITH_GIF=true
WITH_GTK2=true
WITH_JPEG=true
WITH_M17N=true
WITHOUT_MOTIF=true
WITH_OTF=true
WITH_PNG=true
WITH_SOUND=true
WITH_SOURCES=true
WITH_SVG=true
WITH_TIFF=true
WITHOUT_XAW=true
WITH_XAW3D=true
WITH_SYNC_INPUT=true
WITH_SCROLLBARS=true
WITH_XFT=true
WITH_XIM=true
WITH_XPM=true

In /etc/make.conf:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/editors/emacs}
WITHOUT_X11=yes
.endif

This is what emacs is linked to against:

% ldd `which emacs`
/usr/local/bin/emacs:
        libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x8007a3000)
        libdbus-1.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 (0x8008bc000)
        libutil.so.8 => /lib/libutil.so.8 (0x800a0b000)
        libncurses.so.8 => /lib/libncurses.so.8 (0x800b1b000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x800c68000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800d88000)

Since there are no X11 libs in emacs despite all those options
being set anyway, I suppose that setting WITHOUT_X11 creates
a non-X11 emacs.

I'm using the following port (normal emacs, with WITHOUT_X11 set):

% echo /var/db/pkg/emacs*
/var/db/pkg/emacs-23.3_1,2

But I don't know if X dependencies are being pulled in when the
port is being built with all those options.
