Bug 197154 – xorg-server-1.4-r3 compile dies if net-dialup/dtrace-2.01 is installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Werner 2007-10-26 16:02:18 UTC]

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

removing dtrace solves the problem

[Comment 1 Chad A. Simmons 2007-10-26 18:32:03 UTC]

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

[Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2007-10-28 07:54:09 UTC]

Haha, that's just awesome.

[Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2007-10-28 07:57:22 UTC]

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.

[Comment 4 Stefan Werner 2007-10-28 11:29:31 UTC]

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

[Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2007-10-29 06:50:08 UTC]

Done.

[Comment 6 Stefan Werner 2008-01-30 13:56:38 UTC]

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 <[e-mail]>
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

[Comment 7 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2008-05-07 03:58:09 UTC]

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.

[Comment 8 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2008-05-09 07:23:30 UTC]

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.
