Hello,

I wanted to install the tool "linkchecker" without GUI on a headless server. Unfortunately the FreeBSD port seems to pull in a large amount of X related dependencies, even though I have WITHOUT_X11=yes in make.conf and I didn't select the GTK2 port option.

The X related dependencies originate from graphics/gtk-update-icon-cache. Which in turn seems to be triggered by the "INSTALLS_ICONS= yes" line in the port's Makefile. I traced this down when I found this similar bug report for another port:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2011-November/222150.html

I removed the INSTALLS_ICONS line from the port's Makefile in my ports tree and the port build and installed succesfully. The CLI tool also runs as expected.

I think the "INSTALLS_ICONS= yes" line can be safely removed from the official port?

Thank you in advance,

Michiel
