Bugzilla Bug 197154

I had to remove net-dialup/dtrace in order to get xorg-server compile:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge net-dialup/dtrace-2.01
2. emerge x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r3

Actual Results:  
compile error

Expected Results:  
should compile

removing dtrace solves the problem

looks like Xorg is expecting Solaris dtrace instead of this other app that has
the same name.

Haha, that's just awesome.

Please file an upstream bug at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, and
post the URL here so we can track it. Once it's fixed upstream, please reopen
this bug for inclusion of the fix into Gentoo.

I think there sould be a block for dtrace in the meantime to care for the rare
case where a user has it installed.

Done.

looks like it was fixed upstream some time ago:


  ------- Comment  #1 From Alan Coopersmith  2008-01-29 09:59:50 PST  -------

This should be fixed in git master by this commit:

commit 4fc288a13f825db942c9dcd64f4abd0265652faf
Author: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@sun.com>
Date:   Fri Dec 7 17:28:37 2007 -0800

    Check for <sys/sdt.h> as well when determining to enable dtrace probes

    Avoids auto-detecting dtrace is present on systems with the ISDN trace tool
    named dtrace installed, but not the dynamic tracing facility named dtrace

I've got a local copy of the upstream git 1.4 branch with this patch in it.
I'll see if I can get it merged upstream.

Fixed in xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r4, which I expect to rekeyword as soon as a few
last patches find their way in.
