[Mesa3d-dev] Continue to allow building src/glx on current distros

[Keith W. <kei...@go...>]

Jesse,

Can you take a look at the attached patch?  I'd really like to be able
to build mesa and the DRI drivers on current distros (eg Ubuntu 9.10)
without having to pull in heaps of dependencies.  The patch adds
#ifdefs to protect against the newer DRI2 protocol changes, meaning I
can build-test linux-dri and related targets with just the
distro-supplied packages.

As much as I hate #ifdefs, I think this is probably a reasonable thing
to do.  Have you tested to confirm that it preserves both the old and
new behavior when different proto headers are present?

As far as I can tell, it does.  In particular, with the new headers,
mesa builds the same libglapi.a with/without the patch.

I've committed it now, please let me know if there are any regressions.

The ifdef changes to allow building with older libdrm and glproto
header files are working.
But the configure.ac requirements are still aggressive, requiring
LIBDRM_REQUIRED=2.4.15
and
GLPROTO_REQUIRED=1.4.11
Could those back down now that the source code itself is more flexible?
Those version requirements are not met by debian testing or ubuntu 9.10.

I'd be fine with this.
