Disable automatic QT GUI in JoinMarket installation #77

Closed GordianLN closed 2 years ago

GordianLN commented 2 years ago

Probably the main reason for someone to install joininbox is to have a "gui on the commandline", so I was expecting the QT packages needed by the QT GUI of JM would have been left out, yet I noticed they were automatically installed. I would probably be a good idea to leave them out, or at most, have them optional via a commanline argument, calling the install script directly after chmod +x build_joininbox.sh, something like ./build_joininbox.sh --noqt

If you get joininbox running you will see that there is an option to run the QT GUI remotely with ssh -X This is quite popular and shall not be removed by default. Will add option to the build_joininbox.sh to allow installing without the QT GUI dependencies and function altogether.
