[General]: --without-cocoa requires xorgproto libxau libxdmcp libxcb libx11 libxext libxrender pixman cairo gdk-pixbuf fribidi harfbuzz pango librsvg

Issue description

Trying to install @29 terminal only. No Cocoa and no X11. Fails with error:

brew unpin xorgproto libxau libxdmcp libxcb libx11 libxext libxrender pixman cairo gdk-pixbuf fribidi harfbuzz pango librsvg as installing d12frosted/emacs-plus/emacs-plus@29 requires the latest version of pinned dependencies

I am not sure about all of them but most look related to a WM. Why is so? Thanks.

Never used brew pinning. The message clearly says that you need to unpin.

I am not sure about all of them but most look related to a WM

What is the meaning of WM in this context?

P.S. if you enouncter 'installation' error, please use appropriate template. It asks you provide all the relevant information. For example, I don't understand which options you are using, which version of OS you are using etc.

Actually I want to keep the dependencies pinned. Otherwise won’t have the issue I think. But don’t understand why most of them are needed in the first place. Without X and Cocoa being required. Xorg? LibX? Gdk? WM stayed for window manager.

Sorry about the template choice. I thought it as not a general error. macOS 10.13 and without-cocoa as only additional option.

No worries. But I need information, otherwise I am just blind and we are going to walk in circles. You want to get help, I ask questions, you provide only a subset of info we ask in the error template, so now I am going to ask for more. Build logs :)

Regarding pinned deps - I've no answer. AFAIK there is no way to specify dependency versions in brew, it's available only for a few requirements. So formulas usually just depend on stuff and brew resolves that. And again I've no logs to check. Maybe there is a certain dependency that requires unpinning some packages. I don't know.

In general, I'd say that the only supported build is cocoa. Everything else is experimental and there was no effort to make --with-x and --without-cocoa builds optimal or whatnot. But if it's not much of work, it can be improved.

Build logs :)

I wish could satisfy your request :). But no emacs-plus logs are available in ~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/ . Best I can do is paste stdout of install -v below:

brew install -v emacs-plus --without-cocoa
Running `brew update --auto-update`...

Section with PATH value was changed to is actually repeated. Not a copy and paste mistake.

Wanted to have a terminal-only installation. No X11. No Cocoa. But also my vintage laptop is slow at brew upgrade. So I simply pinned those formulas with more demanding compilation and which I don't need much. Guess will make do with emacs provided by Apple instead.

Solved by installing the cask and invoking emacs -nw

You can always start Emacs with -nw option. Regardless of the installation - with X, with cocoa, whatever.

As long is it works for you 👍 In that case, closing the issue. Let me know if you need any other help.
