Bug 362405 – www-client/chromium fails to compile without Xinerama

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paweł Hajdan, Jr. (RETIRED) 2011-04-07 08:25:35 UTC]

I just tried to compile www-client/chromium-12.0.725.0 inside a chroot and got the following error:

content/browser/renderer_host/render_message_filter_gtk.cc:23:37: fatal error: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: No such file or directorycompilation terminated.

I'm going to identify the range of affected Chromium versions and add needed dependencies.

www-client/chromium-11.0.696.34 is not affected.

Okay, so x11-libs/libXinerama is required during build time, but during run time the browser does dlopen, so then the dependency is optional.

I added the dependency.

Any chance of ifdef'ing out the code? It only being needed during compile time is not much consolation.

It's definitely on my list, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to fix that. Patches are welcome (send them upstream please).
