Remember, the dependencies are build dependencies, not run-time

me doesn't fly.

Furthermore, if you are trying to state that there *is* a dependency
of X, then it would be safe to say the "recommended" dependency of
Freetype is totally redundant, and should be completely removed from
the dependency list of OpenOffice. Right?

Randy, thanks for the clarifications. X will be added as a required dependency. I will comment out freetype for now pending other research WRT Xorg-6.9/7.0.


And, research should be done to ensure that GTK+ is not required.
If GTK+ or QT is not required, what rendering engine does OpenOffice
use to display its graphical widgets and such?

The option is there '--disable-gtk'. OOo used to use the native (REALLY UGLY) Java display widgets (is widgets the correct term? ie: dialog boxes, window borders, buttons, menus, icons, etc.). I've not yet completed a build without gtk availible in the environment. I've got Xorg building now on a fresh installation (Thanks again Jeremy and Manuel for jhalfs). I should have a complete answer day after tomorrow.

Thanks for the suggestions.
