Re: question about libsoup dependency

Thank for you all the answers.

If my program just has a glib main loop, do I still need X11 in my
linux environment to run my program?

And my understanding is libSoup is for HTTP communication. For socket
based communication (server and client), I need to use GIOChannel? Is
that correct?
