Removing HAL

M

Hi

I'm trying to remove (delete) HAL, but I can't delete it because it is required by xorg-server. Here are the steps:
[CMD=""]pkg_info -R hal-\*[/CMD]
shows that HAL is required by xorg-server.

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server
make deinstall
make rmconfig
make build
During configuration stage, I unchecked the HAL support

Code: 
make install
pkg_info -R hal-\*

The last command still shows that HAL is required by xorg-server.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you
 
Code: 
pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/hal-
portmaster -y --check-depends
Just hints... you may want to try
Code: 
ldd /usr/local/bin/X | grep hal
The +REQUIRED_BY in /var/db/pkg probably hasn't been adjusted as of yet.

Thanks for your reply.
Code: 
pkg_delete hal-\*

pkg_delete: package 'hal-0.5.14_19' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled:
xorg-server-1.7.7_5,1

So only xorg-server depends on it.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm trying to avoid using the -f option to force the delete. But if I find no other way, I'll use your method.
 
Rebuild xorg-server without the HAL option (so run make config first and uncheck it).

Thanks for your quick reply.

As I mentioned in my first post I ran:
Code: 
cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server
make deinstall
make rmconfig
make install
During configuration stage I unchecked the HAL support. But still
[CMD=""]pkg_info -R hal-\*[/CMD]
shows that xorg-server is depending on it. That was the reason I asked for the help :).

Thank you so much for your help.
I tried your method and it worked.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for your help.

I also tried your method and it worked.
I removed xorg-server and all of its dependencies and then reinstall xorg-server without HAL Support and everything worked.

I also had to delete my port tree and csup it. For some reason it was broken.

Thank you.
