While building a Gentoo linux system (emerge system), I encountered a compile error in xfree.

Workaround: Check out the Glide code per the instructions from xfree86.org (I checked it out to /opt/cvs/XFree86. After 'emerge xfree' unpacks the source, execute: cd /var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.2.0-r9/work/xc/lib/GL/mesa/src/drv/tdfx ln -s /opt/cvs/XFree86/Glide3/h5/glide3/src/glide.h glide.h ln -s /opt/cvs/XFree86/Glide3/h5/glide3/src/glidesys.h glidesys.h ln -s /opt/cvs/XFree86/Glide3/h5/glide3/src/glideutl.h glideutl.h ln -s /opt/cvs/XFree86/Glide3/h5/glide3/src/g3ext.h g3ext.h I'm not enough of a C programmer to know the right way to correct it, but it finished compiling xfree with the workaround.
Do you have media-libs/glide-v3 installed ?
It's currently installed, but I didn't explicitly install it. It may have been installed as a dependency by another ebuild after xfree completed. The error occurred while executing 'emerge system', so unless xfree had glide-v3 as a dependency, it would not have been installed. On a related issue (not to overload a bug report), my understanding is that the tdfx.o from the xfree tree is more up-to-date than the tdfx.o produced when compiling DRI support with the kernel. However, it doesn't seem to install tdfx.o from the xfree build into the /lib/modules/... directory, and the xfree tree is deleted once the build finishes.
To be honest, I have mainly been doing the tdfx stuff with help from tdfx users, as I do not have such an card myself. For them, and others it has worked fine, so I am wondering why this all of a sudden. It should not be that difficult to fix the symlink issue, but I will need your help, and as it is nearly midnight, and I still have work tomorrow, I will only be able to get to it tomorrow night. On a side note .. why do you disable mmx ? An athlon cpu do support mmx, and you could be turning off speed improvements that your athlon/duron could have taken advantage of .... Then lastly, if I remember correctly, DRI was updated in kernel 2.4.17 to that used in xfree-4.2.0. Btw .. did you try to do just: emerge xfree yet ?
Don't kill yourself resolving it. I'm switching to Gentoo from Redhat and I'm building it on a spare partition that I chroot into, so it's not an urgent problem, especially if everyone else seems to be using tdfx without problems. When 'emerge system' errored, I tried 'emerge xfree' and received the same error. I'll help with whatever I can. I'm not overly knowledgeable about anything c/c++ related, but I'm hoping to become more familiar with my linux system (hence the reason to switch to Gentoo). I haven't done any c programming for over 10 years. As far as disabling mmx, that was a mistake. I was originally playing around with Gentoo in VMWare, and it probably got switched there. As far as using DRI from xfree instead of the kernel, I read that the kernel tends to lag behind xfree DRI changes and I wanted to have the latest. I wasn't aware that the latest changes were merged into 2.4.17.
Ill try not to do permanet harm to myself :) You dont have to be eligible in c/c++, but will just have to be willing to test a ebuild or 3 :)
I can test as many ebuilds as you send and any other instructions you have.
Hi, try xfree-4.2.0-r10 (masked). Just make sure it is the one I commited ... the $Header: $ line should have "azarah" in it ...
Ok, I created a completely new installation in VMWare using the same USE variable. Everything up to the emerge of xfree went fine. I tried 'emerge xfree' with the original ebuild and it failed as before. I unmasked the new xfree ebuild and did 'emerge xfree-4.2.0-r10.ebuild'. The header line didn't have 'azarah' as you indicated, but it appeared to have the other changes to add the symlinks. It successfully merged opengl-update and then began xfree. It failed again. I looked in /var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.2.0-r10 and the symlinks were created. I followed the links and looked in /usr/include/glide3 and saw that the files they were linking to weren't there. I chedked for glide-v3 with 'emerge -s glide-v3' and it reported that 3.10-r3 was installed. I re-emerged it and had the following: <snip build stuff> gcc -DX11 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fexpensive-optimizations -ffast-math -DBIG_OPT -Wall -I../../../h5/glide3/src -I../../h5/incsrc -I../../../h5/incsrc -I../../../h5/minihwc -I. -I../../../swlibs/fxmemmap -I../../../swlibs/fxmisc -I../../../swlibs/newpci/pcilib -I../../../swlibs/texus2/lib -O6 -m486 -Wp,-MD,.deps/linhwc.pp -c ../../../h5/minihwc/linhwc.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/linhwc.lo ../../../h5/minihwc/linhwc.c:64: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory ../../../h5/minihwc/linhwc.c:65: X11/extensions/xf86dga.h: No such file or directory ../../../h5/minihwc/linhwc.c:66: X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [linhwc.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glide-v3-3.10-r3/work/glide3x/build/h5/minihwc' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glide-v3-3.10-r3/work/glide3x/build/h5' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdd1 2015604 1264840 648376 67% /var Time Elapsed: 0 Years, 0 Days, 0 Hours, 1 Minutes, 9 Seconds Disk usage: 1.456 Mb >>> Install glide-v3-3.10-r3 into /var/tmp/portage/glide-v3-3.10-r3/image/ category media-libs <snip install which fails with same error> >>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/glide-v3-3.10-r3/image/ ...done! <snip emerging of failed install to /> glide-v3 failed to build and failed to install but the emerge completed successfully and recorded a successful installation. When I was originally building the system, I played with the glide DRI pulled from CVS on sourceforge and must have successfully installed it - that must be why I could create the symlinks and have xfree install. Sorry for being a poor bug reporter and uninformed user trying to build stuff he doesn't really understand - I'll get better. Anyway, I copied the 4 files that were symlinked against to /usr/include/glide3 to simulate a successful glide-v3 install and did an 'emerge xfree-4.2.0-r10.ebuild' again. It built and installed successfully.
Ok, I guess the only thing I can think, is that you are not supposed to use 3dfx drivers under vmware, but the vmware driver that comes with xfree. I am marking this as resolved ... if you have problems using the 3dfx stuff and are not running it inside vmware, reopen this bug.
