Category: misc Group: None Status: Open >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Alf Mel (alfmel) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Cannot configure without X libraries Initial Comment: Thank you for releasing these tools to the Open Source community. I am trying out the new tools by trying to simply build the modules in a system that does not have X installed. I do this because I don't install X on my servers to reduce the VM hard disk footprint. However, when running the configure script with --without-x --disable-multimon, the configure script exits with an error when trying to find the xrandr library: checking for pkg-config... yes checking for XRRQueryVersion in -lXrandr... no configure: error: libXrandr not found. Please install the libXrandr devel package(s). The README file contains the following: (*)Building Linux kernel modules: 1) ./configure 2) make modules Since I cannot run configure successfully, I am not even able to compile the kernel modules that should not require any X libraries what so ever. Could you fix your configure script to allow configuration without any X libraries? Ideally, it would also be nice to know what packages will *not* be compiled due to failed X dependencies during configuration. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Ragavan S (ragavan_s) Date: 2007-10-11 15:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1859435 Originator: NO Elliot released a development snapshot that should fix this. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=204462&package_id=244023&release_id=545283 (specifically the nox patch). Can you please try that and see if it works for you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: ECL (sopwith) Date: 2007-10-08 15:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18318 Originator: NO I'm working on a compatibility patch that allows builds on more systems. I know --without-x works for me because I've got builds going on a couple of systems that don't have libXrandr, so it's just a matter of getting a tarball out there with the fixes... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ira Abramov (seefood) Date: 2007-10-08 15:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=7119 Originator: NO actually, I managed to build the modules without configure finishing, still it's a kind of an ugly improvisation :-) I should not need any X devel libs for make modules, especially if I asked --without-x... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ira Abramov (seefood) Date: 2007-10-08 15:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=7119 Originator: NO actually, I managed to build the modules without configure finishing, still it's a kind of an ugly improvisation :-) I should not need any X devel libs for make modules, especially if I asked --without-x... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Elias Probst (eliasp) Date: 2007-10-08 11:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1038740 Originator: NO Same here. It's a blocker for me as I currently can't continue development of the Gentoo ebuild ( http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192377 / vmware overlay) because my only VM where I'm doing the tests on is X-less. I hope this is fixed soon. Would do it, but I don't have any autotools/autoconf knowledge. I think this is fixed very fast by somebody having some basic autotools/autoconf knowledge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ira Abramov (seefood) Date: 2007-10-08 09:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=7119 Originator: NO +1, exact same proglem here. I say at least seperate a makefile for the kernel modules from the rest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=1796805&group_id=204462 |
