Req for resolution: Installation Errors - libX11, libXtst

[J Habib]

Hello Gaetan

Thanks for your response.

While doing ./configure (on MeeGo at root user) for libX11-1.4.4 (after commenting the line for keysymdef.h in configure file), the following package dependencies are displayed:

checking for X11... configure: error: Package requirements (xproto >= 7.0.17 xextproto xtrans xcb >= 1.1.92 kbproto inputproto) were not met:

No package 'xproto' found
No package 'xextproto' found
No package 'xtrans' found
No package 'xcb' found
No package 'kbproto' found
No package 'inputproto' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables X11_CFLAGS
and X11_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

[root at localhost libX11-1.4.4]#

While doing ./configure for xproto-7.0.22 (on MeeGo), no errors are displayed and Makefile is generated. After make and make install, no errors are displayed but the package does not get installed. Please find attached the log for your reference.

Could you please advice on the correct procedure for installing the pre-requisite libraries: libX11, libXtst on MeeGo.

Thanks

J Habib

          zypper install xdotool or pkcon install xdotool on MeeGo
          Target is not able to fetch the xdotool as it is not available
          for MeeGo repository.

If you look in libX11 configure.ac,

# Always required
>X11_REQUIRES='xproto >= 7.0.17 xextproto xtrans xcb >= 1.1.92'
>X11_EXTRA_DEPS="xcb >= 1.1.92"

these are the packages (and probably some more) you need to build libX11. Those packages in turn may need other packages to build. Unfortunately, the presence of these packages are checked *after* the check for keysymdef.h from the "xproto" package.

A good place to look for dependencies is in each package .pc file.
    Look for "Requires" variable for a hint on the prereqs.

The method you are using, building from source starting at an
    arbitrary point, will eventually work but it is a long road. You
    might look in your OS packages for some X development libraries and
    headers which would give you a head start.

Note that when you run ./configure, the default installation
    directory is rooted at /usr/local or /usr depending on your
    platform. When running 'make install', you must have root
    permission, else if will fail to install binaries or headers which
    will cause subsequent packages to fail. Look for an S["prefix"]=
    string in config.status to find the exact value.

You may not have noticed, but you were able to run ./configure that
    far because there is an xorg-macros package already installed on
    your box. Running pkg-config --print-errors --variable=prefix
    xorg-macros will tell you where.

Now you have little choice but to ./configure --prefix <where
    ever the rest is already installed>.
