php5-gd requires X?

Hi all,

I am trying to install www/joomla on my FreeBSD 8.1 server.

At some point, the make process wants to install graphics/php5-gd. However, this port in turn appears to have some X dependencies, and starts downloading LibX11:

Code: 
...
php5-gd-5.3.6 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xpm.pc - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xpm.pc in /usr/ports/x11/libXpm
===>   libXpm-3.5.7 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xextproto.pc - found
===>   libXpm-3.5.7 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xproto.pc - found
===>   libXpm-3.5.7 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/x11.pc - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/x11.pc in /usr/ports/x11/libX11
===>  License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE
===>  Extracting for libX11-1.3.6,1
=> SHA256 Checksum mismatch for xorg/lib/libX11-1.3.6.tar.bz2.

Surely it must be possible to install the php5 components Joomla requires without needing to install X?
 
Edit out the two characters gd in the joomla Makefile? If not, maybe possible but I'm uncertain, deselect everything X related in PHP5 prior to the above. Just conjecture on both points, first seems more likely. Chance a joomla theme or install may fail even if installed that way, due to some script assuming the gd module(s) exist.
 
Thanks, that worked. I removed gd from the USE_PHP parameter in both the Joomla Makefile as well that of a dependency, print/pecl-pdflib, and now it has installed successfully.

I will ask in a Joomla forum what the deal is with the php5-gd requirement.
 
PS: For what it is worth, here is the bit where things went wrong with the php5-gd make:
Code: 
...
===>   php5-gd-5.3.6 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xpm.pc - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xpm.pc in /usr/ports/x11/libXpm
===>   libXpm-3.5.7 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xextproto.pc - found
===>   libXpm-3.5.7 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/xproto.pc - found
===>   libXpm-3.5.7 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/x11.pc - not found
...

From x11/libXpm:
Code: 
$ cat pkg-descr 
This package contains the X Pixmap library.
I am pretty sure I don't want to install this on my server nor the rest of that stuff.

However, if I go to graphics/php5-gd and look at the Makefile:
Code: 
$ cat pkg-descr 
# New ports collection makefile for:        php5-gd
# Date created:                 7 Jul 2004
# Whom:                         Alex Dupre <ale@FreeBSD.org>
#
# $FreeBSD: ports/graphics/php5-gd/Makefile,v 1.5 2009/12/29 14:39:10 ale Exp $
#

CATEGORIES=     graphics

MASTERDIR=      ${.CURDIR}/../../lang/php5

PKGNAMESUFFIX=  -gd

.include "${MASTERDIR}/Makefile"
There is no explicit reference to libXpm

At this point, the question is hypothetical, as I don't yet know whether I absolutely NEED php5-gd for Joomla, but if I did how might I disable this dependency?
 
The maintainer put in that dependency, so you might want to think twice about just editing it out. There are some applications that need a few of the X libraries, but not all of xorg.

You might want to check through your options settings. graphics/gd has an option to disable XPM support.
 
Yes, I realize that editing "gd" out is risky.

If I run make config in graphics/gd, XPM appears to be disabled by default. Not sure how this helps me.
 
I thought that php5-gd depended on graphics/gd, but it doesn't. Since graphics/php5-gd is just a slave port, the real stuff is going on in the master port's Makefile, in lang/php5. And it's not in the main Makefile, but Makefile.ext. Look at the gd parts in there. It appears that as long as you have WITHOUT_X11 set, it should do the right thing, installing only the libraries required for pixmaps.
 
Got it, thanks. A quick Google search revealed that adding
Code: 
WITHOUT_X11=yes
to /etc/make.conf was what was needed. graphics/php5-gd then compiled without any X11 libraries.
