question on compiling xf86-video-qxl-0.0.17

Wed Aug 29 07:14:14 PDT 2012

Alon,

Thanks for the follow up.. (Sorry I'm posting at the top but no need to inline in code at this point). I was able to get a bit further on compiling but eventually the compile failed on GlyphPrint (or something, forget the name) not being defined later on.. I chatted with some people on freenode.net in #xorg and came to the conclusion that the X release in rhel 5 is too old to support xf86-video-qxl-0.0.17 as GlyphPrint wasn't defined in xorg 1.1.1. And according to Alanc in #xorg the ./configure script should have warned me that the release was too old (guess this is a bug??)

I did use #include <stdlib.h> to fix a bunch of the problems as you mentioned though (if anyone else runs into this). Not sure if this is yet another bug?

Thanks,
Mike

What version of gcc are you using? What version of X are you using?
0.0.17 doesn't build with the latest X, and those uint16_t errors look like a missing header. I get the uint16_t typedef from stdlib.h (it indirectly includes bits/types.h).

you have /usr/include/xorg/privates.h with dixLookupPrivate ? (replace /usr with the root where you installed X if you aren't using the system's one).

The uxa-priv:272 error is from a missing _X_INLINE definition, defined in /usr/include/X11/Xfuncproto.h .
