[Gs-devel] Build question

So, I'm not sure if this is the right list, but there's nothing that 
clearly says "build/installation help" on the web page of ghostscript 
mailing lists ... so here I am.

Here's my situation: I'm building ghostscript on a unix system, but one 
that doesn't have X-11 installed, and to which I do not wish to install 
X-11. (I'm actually rather surprised that gs requires it, instead of having 
it built via a separate target than the default build)

So, what do I need to do to tell the makefile not to build with the X-11 
stuff?  Hopefully it's something reasonable like uncommenting one target or 
something ... but the basic install.htm doesn't make it clear what needs to 
be done.

(even the section on Nextstep/Openstep doesn't make it clear ... it seems 
to imply that you HAVE to have X11 installed, which is more than a little 
absurd)

Thanks

John
