pulseaudio module depends on libX11
Hi there,
I have a dedicated headless system in my room which I use for audio listening. The system can only be remotely accessed via ssh; of course no X-server is running there and therefore no libX11 is available.
Now vlc-1.0.4 was building (and running) fine on the system, without any GUI of course. I'm using gentoo linux and the vlc-1.0.6 package was marked stable a while back, so I tried to upgrade from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6 - however this does not work, since the pulseaudio output plugin seems to have a mandatory dependency on libX11.
Please see the gentoo bugreport I wrote: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319003
I've attached a full build log there, in case it's needed.
The main problem seems to be that libpulse_plugin.so is always linked with -lX11, even when not having enabled any sort of GUI.
