This is somewhat xorg-x11 dependent. Seems like /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h is messed up with some (13) extern declarations, which use an invalid C-Syntax (as your gcc-log says "ISO C forbids data definition with no type"). Only for interest (and for the reason that I'm running =xorg-x11-6.8.99.15, where the same error exists), which xorg-x11 version are you running ?
(In reply to comment #1) > Only for interest (and for the reason that I'm running =xorg-x11-6.8.99.15, > where the same error exists), which xorg-x11 version are you running ? Same version, just upgraded.
Created attachment 64229 [details, diff] xorg-6970.patch patch to get it build with X.org 6.9/7.0 (thanks to someone in the forums for pointing this out!)
Committed. Thanks.
