After upgrading x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2 (and my system), I've remerged x11-drivers as usual. x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 does not compile. I've tried a downgrade of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati to 6.8.0, but same error. I will downgrade x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2 and see if the problem comes from it.

I've downgraded xorg-server to 1.4.0.90-r3 and successfully remerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 So, it seems a problem with xorg-server-1.4.2
Yep, the same problem here I think this is because of 1.4.2-unbreak-endianess.patch where: line AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(_X_BYTE_ORDER,[$ENDIAN],[Endian order]) was removed, which is needed by xorg-server.h #ifndef __APPLE_CC__ #define X_BYTE_ORDER _X_BYTE_ORDER #else // [cut] #endif cpp -I../ -I/usr/include/xorg -I/usr/include/drm -I/usr/include/X11/dri -I/usr/include/pixman-1 radeon_accel.c |egrep 'xorg-server|Xarch' # 1 "/usr/include/xorg/xorg-server.h" 1 # 1 "/usr/include/X11/Xarch.h" 1 3 4 as you can see first is included xorg-server.h later Xarch.h and because _X_BYTE_ORDER is undefined it evaluates to 0. So neither #if X_BYTE_ORDER == X_BIG_ENDIAN nor #if X_BYTE_ORDER == X_LITTLE_ENDIAN is true I think we can patch xorg-server.h.in like other stuff from 1.4.2-unbreak-endianess.patch no patch, sorry.
This problem is not ppc specific. I'm seeing this on ~x86 and it does not appear to be related to xorg-server-1.4.2 here. I have two pentium-m laptops. Both with xorg-server-1.4.2 installed. One compiles xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 with no problems. The only major differences is that I have gcc-4.2.4 and glibc-2.7-r2 on the one that compiles and gcc-4.3.1 with glibc-2.8_p20080602 one the one that fails. Both have libtool-2.2.4.
directly including Xarch or removing all the reference from the file should address the issue.
Ok, i patched xorg-server.h.in and x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 compiles fine. I attach new version of 1.4.2-unbreak-endianess.patch
Excluding 1.4.2-unbreak-endianess.patch from the ebuild did work for me - at least it did compile...
Created attachment 157515 [details, diff] new version of 1.4.2-unbreak-endianess.patch for xorg-server
The attached patch works for me! :) Thank you very much!
*** Bug 228423 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
seems I have been 2 days to late. New patch works for me, too.
I did'nt get the time before. I've just tried and it emerges perfectly now. Thx a lot Jakub Zawadzki for the patch :).
Tried the patch, passed the above mentioned problem, but after that it faild with: radeon_accelfuncs.c: In function 'RADEONSetupForMono8x8PatternFillCP' radeon_accelfuncs.c:551: error: 'pattern' undeclared (first use in this function) Tried to get rid of the unbreak_endianess patch completely, and that failed also at RADEONSetupForMono8x8PatternFillMMIO Any Ideas?
Does it work without the patch with the 6.9 driver I just committed? (Note that Luca added the patch to the 1.4.2 version in the tree.) Luca, is that patch upstreamed yet? I don't like adding patches to our tree unless they're already upstream.
6.9.0 does not compile here (the same error) with x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2 merged on Thu Jun 19 03:25:30 2008 (which should therefore be with the 1.4.2-unbreak-endianess.patch according to ChangeLog from 15 Jun).

(In reply to comment #16) > Does it work without the patch with the 6.9 driver I just committed? (Note that > Luca added the patch to the 1.4.2 version in the tree.) Ok so after recompiling xorg-server-1.4.2 without the patch, xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 compiles and works here.
I've the problem with -ati-6.9.0 and xorg-server-1.4.2 as well. I'll try killing the endianness patch in xorg-server and see if that helps. FWIW, I had >xf86-video-ati-6.6.99 masked due to problems with 6.8.0, so have been using 6.6.0 with xorg-server 1.4.2 without problems. Now xorg-server is apparently requiring 6.9.0 (according to portage's warning since I had it masked), and I'd hoped to try it, but it won't compile. So the now required 6.9.0 won't compile while the older supposedly unsatisfactory 6.6.0 continues to work just fine with xorg-server-1.4.2. Sounds like screwed dependencies to me! =8^( But still, thanks for the work, gentoo/xorg team. Herding xorg's set of packages has gotta be rather like herding cats, if for no other reason than because of the variety of hardware involved and the fact that some of the drivers are blackbox closed, so a few problems here or there is still rather better than most could manage, and it's certainly appreciated! =8^) Duncan

Repeat round and round the circle.

I had the same problem but resolved it by "emerge --nodeps xorg-server" which worked just fine against the older driver. Afterwards I could update the driver and probably it's best to recompile xorg-server once again then.

Afterwards I could update the > driver and probably it's best to recompile xorg-server once again then. --nodeps is what I used as well. Works fine and is particularly appropriate in this case due to the details which follow. However, the second remerge of xorg-server shouldn't be necessary as the driver is a pdep (post-dep), not a regular dep (required to merge). The apparent reason portage was trying to do it in reverse is that xorg-server-1.4.2 was already merged, and now has that pdep, so it was trying to fill that first before doing the remerge... I guess. Since it's a pdep and only wants to be merged early because xorg-server would be a remerge, forcing it to be merged after xorg-server is absolutely appropriate. Another solution implied by the above, convenient if you're running FEATURES=buildpkg, less so otherwise, would be to temporarily downgrade xorg-server to a previous version (using -K to simply remerge the prepackaged version if you have it, thus the convenience) without the pdep. The previous server versions won't require 6.9.0 so should merge without issue. Re-upgrading from there should cause portage to merge in the appropriate order, server-first, then the pdep-ed driver. Finally, there's a third solution (before we start considering ebuild hacks) in this particular case. The changelogs reminded me of this. The drivers are pdeped only if the appropriate USE_EXPAND var is set, in this case VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" or "ati" or whatever. Unset that or temporarily set it to something else, and that should kill the pdep too. =8^) Duncan
Works for me! xorg-server-1.4.2 without unbreak endianess patch and xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 All from the repository, no manual patching. As Duncan stated: emerge --nodeps xorg-server then emerge xf86-video-ati Compiles fine, runs well. I'm on a ~amd64
I would mark this fixed, but I'm going to leave it open for a while for anyone else coming across this issue.
This fix (--nodep xorg-server rebuild THEN emerge xf86-video-ati (6.9)) worked for me for ~x86 as well. Thanks.
# emerge --nodeps xorg-server && emerge xf86-video-ati solved the problem for me
(In reply to comment #26) > I would mark this fixed, but I'm going to leave it open for a while for anyone > else coming across this issue. Could you not detect this in the ebuild and warn about it until xorg-server gets a bump? Would probably save peoples hair loss :)

Simple single-letter stuff like that shouldn't be showing up -- normally it'd be something more informative like the above "pattern". That such obviously non-descriptive stuff is showing up has at least here usually indicated a missing header file, such that gcc is interpreting what it sees incorrectly. I really haven't a clue which header file, unfortunately. I've also seen errors like that on some packages when I'm trying a still-hard-masked gcc (or glibc) (usually because... you guessed it, the previously auto-included header files aren't, any more, or previously deprecated header files have been removed, and the sources in question haven't been fixed yet, so it's still basically a missing header file, but with a different reason it's missing), occasionally, but if you were the type to try something that bleeding edge, you'd probably be running at least ~arch xorg as well, so I don't consider it likely.

Do you think an "emerge -uD world" might solve the problem? Or do you think its most likely a problem with the ebuild and that I need to wait for an updated version of the software?

Honestly, I don't know, but I'd try both that and a revdep-rebuild before anything else. As you might have guessed from the comment, I tend toward the leading sometime bleeding edge and run ~arch (~amd64) consistently, sometimes bringing in still-hard-masked packages as well. Thus, my experience is somewhat ahead of where you are back with stable and xorg-1.3 was some time ago for me. I can't rightly tell you to take the risk that's ~arch, but 6.9.0 has fixed problems for some people (tho you may have to ~arch keyword more of X to match it), and I also know that X gets held back by the folks running proprietary (nvidia/ati/whatever) drivers and would often be stabilized sooner if it wasn't for that. Thus if you aren't running the proprietary stuff, newer X might be worth trying. But it's up to you. Alternatively, file a new bug (or check for others, but I imagine that's what you were doing when you found this) with the appropriate details, as best /I/ can tell, it's not related to this one. Maybe the Gentoo X folks or other users can help, but they have to find it first and here, they (other users especially) might not. HTH, Duncan
Closing as per comment #26. Thanks
