Description Jakub Rehor 2005-09-05 03:30:15 UTC 
Remove module CLX which requires presence of X libraries and causes the port
to fail to build on machines without X.

Why don't you make it an option which can be turned off if necessary?
It would be simple to do.

You make a good point; it should be an option. There are actually a 
number of modules that can be compiled; I will look into setting up an 
interactive dialog that asks the user to specifiy which modules to 
include. I will also specify a reasonable default set of modules for 
batch compilation.

CLX module should not be included in the default set: some users may run 
Clisp on Web servers without X installed and do not need CLX. Those 
users are currently unable to compile the port.

Until I finish the interactive setup, can you remove the CLX option so 
that non-X installations can upgrade their Clisp?
