+no_x11 as default

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

No. It means don't use X11 at all, but use the native OSX graphics. e.g.

Chris-Jones-Macbook-Pro ~ > port variants gimp
gimp has the variants:
   animation: Include the Gimp Animation Package (gimp-gap).
   manual: Include help files.
   quartz: Support for native Mac OS X graphics

If an application needs to link against X11, its MacPorts policy to always install its own X11 libraries, and not use the system ones. See

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#ownlibs

for the reasons why.

cheers Chris
