gnome2 won't compile

It is failing on graphics/gtk-update-icon-cache saying
Code: 
need cairo build with X11 support
I looked at the config available for cairo and it doesn't have any options relating to X11. At least I don't think it does.

X11 is also installed and successfully installed according to the logs.

Any ideas? Thank you.
 
It's not a visible option. Looking at the Makefile:
Code: 
.if defined(WITHOUT_X11)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-xlib
PLIST_SUB+=     X11="@comment "
.else
USE_XORG+=      xrender
PLIST_SUB+=     X11=""
.endif

So having
Code: 
WITHOUT_X11=yes
in /etc/make.conf or on the command line would build it without X support.

Overriding that from the command line (untested):
# make WITHOUT_X11= install
 
There's no effect if I added
Code: 
WITHOUT_X11=yes
on make install for cairo so I edited the Makefile and forced it to use X11.

Thank you,
 
Don't add it, that's the opposite of what needs to be done. I guess it might be possible to unset it in make.conf, but haven't tried that.
 
Solved: installed by ports (fixing my compile problem) and
Code: 
gnome_enable=YES
worked beautifully. Thank you all.
 
Just some extra information. It doesn't matter what's assigned to a WITHOUT_ or WITH_ variable. The mere fact it's defined is enough. So you need to completely remove WITHOUT_X11.
 
I didn't have WITHOUT_X11 on my /etc/make.conf and I did compile it first by using just make install clean and Cairo still installed without X11 support. The only solution for me was to edit Makefile and forced it to compile with X11 support.
