I hadn't noticed this problem til I switched to the (hard masked) version of xorg. Not sure why it isn't finding the right path, but adding the following bit into the econf (even though its exactly what the default should be) lets it build: --with-xkb-base=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
OK, this works quite fine. Are they any reason, no patching the ebuild with this line? (foser, spider, what would you say?)
not really, but i do like someone to tell us first exactly why it is that the default doesn't work with the -r2 setup.
With "set -v", this demonstrates it at the point it dies, which shows that $x_libraries is not properly set at this point in configure, though I haven't traced it all the way back to see why its not found by default. This happened for me with xorg -r2 both before and after the /usr/X11R6/lib -> /usr/lib/ symlink. The path is correctly identified on a system of mine running xorg -r1. if test "$have_x" != yes; then echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $have_x" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}$have_x" >&6 no_x=yes else # If each of the values was on the command line, it overrides each guess. test "x$x_includes" = xNONE && x_includes=$ac_x_includes test "x$x_libraries" = xNONE && x_libraries=$ac_x_libraries # Update the cache value to reflect the command line values. ac_cv_have_x="have_x=yes \ ac_x_includes=$x_includes ac_x_libraries=$x_libraries" echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: libraries $x_libraries, headers $x_includes" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}libraries $x_libraries, headers $x_includes" >&6 fi libraries , headers /usr/X11R6/include # Check whether --with-xkb_base or --without-xkb_base was given. if test "${with_xkb_base+set}" = set; then withval="$with_xkb_base" xkb_base="$withval" else xkb_base="$x_libraries/X11/xkb" fi; if ! test -d $xkb_base; then { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: The path $xkb_base does not denote the directory" >&5 echo "$as_me: error: The path $xkb_base does not denote the directory" >&2;} { (exit 1); exit 1; }; } fi configure: error: The path /X11/xkb does not denote the directory
well ok, i guess with the split up X11 some sys config path is defined to /usr/X11 or something. added the suggested config option to 1.04 , thanks for the report. btw, this is _not_ a blocker.
"Bug" confirmed with "xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4". (I have to use this hardmasked build at the moment to work around the "totem locking problem") btw: Using libxklavier-1.04 (~x86) works (because of the new config option) Thanks to foser Axel
