configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.12 xproto inputproto >= 2.1.99.3) were not met:

Package 'xf86driproto', required by 'xorg-server', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

obviously this dep is missing because it was depcleaned. 

But its not really a dependency of xf86-input-evdev, its a dependency of xorg communicated through to xf86-input-evdev

( Apologies if this is a dupe, I went through all the similar cases on bug #379545 and this seemed like it was not listed )

Experienced the same error

Comment 2 William Throwe 2017-02-26 08:22:03 UTC

I also ran into this.  In case it is useful, the packages I had to manually install to get x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.3 to compile were:

randrproto
renderproto
videoproto
scrnsaverproto
resourceproto
xf86driproto
glproto
dri2proto
dri3proto
presentproto
xineramaproto

I'm still seeing this with x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.5

With x11-base/xorg-proto it is not possible for this to occur anymore.
