What triggers Python while building xorg?

Daniel Tourde

Hello,

I am building xorg from the port tree and I want to build and install just necessary stuff. At the moment I am puzzled by the fact that Perl and Python are built and installed when I just want a working X11...
So here is my first question: what triggers the compilation and installation of Python? I switched off the option 'LIT' in llvm36.

Yes it helps. Thanks!
So now the second set of questions:
Is that optional? Can it be turned off?
Clang 3.4.1 of the base system does not come with any runtime depedency on perl and Python. So Why has clang 3.6 from ports such dependencies?

Blame in on the Xorg developers who have decided to use certain features of C/C++ language that are not available in clang until version 3.6.
