Description David Watzke 2005-12-06 11:57:46 UTC

I tried more versions, one of them I can compile before some updates.. GCC 
3.4.5 (now i tried 3.4.4-r1 again, but without success), Xorg 7.0.0 RC 3... 
glibc 2.3.6-r1, but I can't overlook this 
file: /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/files/libXNVCtrl.a.bz2. Don't 
know...

Comment 1 Kenton Groombridge 2005-12-06 17:31:05 UTC

Same problem here.

Comment 2 Devils-Hawk 2005-12-07 04:22:03 UTC

x86 same configuration same problem
I am not sure how this build is supposed to work because the Makefile generated
by xmkmf fills the all: and c.o.: section just with NULL_COMMANDS and so the
Makefile does exactly make depend and than nothing! Just copying the existing
libXNVCtrl.a to the specified location does not work either, the build still
fails during linktime. The question here is, is the library supposed to be
rebuild or should the one in
/usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/files/libXNVCtrl.a.bz2 be used.

Comment 3 Thomas Kear 2005-12-07 22:00:55 UTC

I ctrl+z'd the compile and decompressed
/usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/files/libXNVCtrl.a.bz2 into
/var/tmp/portage/nvidia-settings-1.0.20051122-r2/work/nvidia-settings-1.0/src/libXNVCtrl


after resuming we get this output:

Xext src/libXNVCtrl/libXNVCtrl.a -o nvidia-settings

Comment 5 FieldySnuts 2005-12-10 07:44:07 UTC

I get the same problem on x86, with 1.0.20051122-r2. 
 
There is also another problem, at some point this ebuild attempts to execute 
binaries or scripts in /tmp/ . Which is very annoying for those of us 
with /tmp/ as a separate partition, and mounted noexec. I just remounted exec 
temporarily, but /tmp/ is not supposed to be used for binaries.

Comment 6 Matthew Stapleton 2005-12-14 05:37:57 UTC

I'm running x86 with modular Xorg and xorg-cf-files-0.99.3 and noticed 
that /usr/lib/X11/config/host.def is empty.  After copying a host.def file from 
a Xorg 6.8.2-r6 installation, xmkmf -a generated a working Makefile that would 
allow libXNVCtrl.a to be built.  I haven't looked at why an empty host.def is 
being made though or why it would be causing a broken Makefile.

Great, so attach here /usr/lib/X11/config/host.def file. :)

Comment 8 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2005-12-14 09:12:10 UTC

host.def is supposed to be empty by default.  The purpose of .def files is to
provide a level of customizability to the imake build system, which is no longer
used for Xorg as of 7.0.

Apps that fail due to an empty .def probably have build system issues.

Comment 9 Robin Johnson archtester

2006-01-11 00:49:23 UTC

I'm marking this a dupe of 114603, as I've all of the work for using nvidia-settings with modular-x into that bug.

The package build system was almost fine, just a single definition needed to be changed, as it took the setting from xorg-6.8 before, and that setting was useless - building the lib based on the state of another library instead of unconditially.

Please test the patch I've included with the other bug, and commit as needed.
