Description Hopeless 2007-05-05 13:16:57 UTC
On a new install, emerging xorg-server 1.3 failed at the configure stage with the following error;

checking whether to build Xdmx DDX... checking for DMXMODULES... no
yes
configure: error: Xdmx build explicitly requested, but required
                              modules not found.

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0/work/xorg-server-1.3.0.0/config.log


Looking through the config.log, I found the following;

configure:28912: checking whether to build Xdmx DDX
configure:28916: checking for DMXMODULES
configure:28924: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "xmuu xext x11 xrender xfixes xfont xi dmxproto xau $XDMCP_MODULES"
Package xfixes was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xfixes.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xfixes' found
configure:28927: $? = 1
configure:28942: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "xmuu xext x11 xrender xfixes xfont xi dmxproto xau $XDMCP_MODULES"
Package xfixes was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xfixes.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xfixes' found
configure:28945: $? = 1
No package 'xfixes' found
configure:28973: result: no
configure:28988: result: yes
configure:29004: error: Xdmx build explicitly requested, but required
                              modules not found.


`emerge -1 libXfixes && emerge xorg-server` solved the problem.

Suggest adding the following to RDEPEND in xorg-server-1.3.0.0.ebuild;
dmx? ( x11-libs/libdmx
        x11-libs/libXfixes )

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
New install, USE=dmx emerge xorg-server
