freebsd stable - Apr 2014 - How to remove X11 support and all ports options depend on X11

Hi,
I am new to FreeBSD, I have used Gentoo before. I want to remove the X11
support and all ports options depend on it, I know how to remove X11
support, but I cannot find out how to remove all ports options depand on
it. Can someone kindly tell me the method ?

Best regards

You can try adding the old
WITHOUT_X11=yes
to /etc/make.conf, but you will probably be required
(at some point) to make sure you don't have any conflicting
options* set (via "make config" in the port directory) when
things go poorly.


*for instance: WITH_QT4=yes
has caused problems in the past, since QT4 requires X11
The ports system is not perfect.  Sorry.

Assuming you're using pkg(8) rather than the old pkg_tools, then delete
X11 packages and everything that depends on them.  eg:

   # pkg delete -R libX11

(you'll need to repeat that for various other X11 components)

Then remove anything that was only installed as a dependency of the X11
ports:

   # pkg autoremove

	Cheers,
