Not sure what we are doing specifically on MacOSX that can break headless.
So there may be more breakage. Fun guaranteed!
Wait, wait. Isn't your motive for this --enable-headless work to be able
to run LO in a headless fashion (document conversions on a Linux or BSD
server would be the typical use case, I guess), without it linking at all
to any X11 or other GUI-related libraries, thus not requiring such packages
to be present at all?
Yeah, building on Linux / BSD without linking to X11 and GUI libs is
what is already in git master, It currenctly fails at runtime but that's
another story :)
Now, clearly on OS X or Windows there is then no benefit at all in a LO
built with --enable-headless, as the GUI bits of the OS are not "optional"
and always present.
I agree, but being ingenuous i thought that OS X would be enough unix we
can build the headless vcl code instead of the aqua code. Building
something you can install with brew / macports / whatever. But really if
that would require lot of time and pain i'll just add an error in
configure for these platforms.
(That the --headless LO option, which is not related to the
--enable-headless configure option, might not work on the Mac, is another
thing. Having that fixed would be good.)
I don't think i have even tried that :)
thanks,
riccardo
