Bug 118595 – x11-libs/libXext-1.0.0 needs x11-proto/inputproto

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ryan Egesdahl 2006-01-10 16:57:24 UTC]

In Modular X, x11-libs/libXext-1.0.0 needs x11-proto/inputproto in order to compile. It doesn't say so when the compile breaks, but the config.log tells the tale.

Please attach a compilation log and config.log.

Compilation log (such as it is):

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for XEXT... configure: error: Package requirements (xproto x11 xextproto xau) were not met.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

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

Created attachment 76809 [details]
config.log

OK, here's the error so we've got it handy:

configure:20258: checking for XEXT
configure:20263: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "xproto x11 xextproto xau"
Package inputproto was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `inputproto.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'inputproto', required by 'X11', not found


Fixed by moving inputproto from DEPEND to RDEPEND in libX11.
