Bug 134887 – sdl-1.2.10 fail to build (xinerama error)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description charly 2006-05-30 01:54:12 UTC]

Hi 
I was emerging media-libs/libsdl-1.2.10. Use flags were: USE="X aalib alsa fbcon libcaca opengl xv -arts -dga -directfb -esd -ggi -nas -noaudio -noflagstrip -nojoystick -novideo -oss -svga -xinerama"

I checked if the "--xinerama" was really disabled in the configure (it does):

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-rpath --enable-events --enable-cdrom --enable-threads --enable-timers --enable-endian --enable-file --enable-cpuinfo --disable-oss --enable-alsa --disable-esd --disable-arts --disable-nas --enable-video-x11 --disable-dga --enable-video-x11-xv --disable-video-x11-xinerama --enable-video-x11-xrandr --disable-video-dga --enable-video-fbcon --disable-video-ggi --disable-video-svga --enable-video-aalib --enable-video-caca --enable-video-opengl --with-x --disable-video-x11-xme --enable-nasm --enable-video-dummy --disable-video-directfb --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu


early in the build process, emake fail with this error:

i think it's an upstream bug, my little investigation showed this:

src/video/x11/SDL_x11modes.c
 629 #if SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_VIDMODE
 630     /* XVidMode */
 631     if ( !use_xrandr &&
 632          (!use_xinerama || xinerama_info.screen_number == 0) &&
 633          CheckVidMode(this, &vm_major, &vm_minor) &&
 634          SDL_NAME(XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines)(SDL_Display,SDL_Screen,&nmodes,&modes) )
 635     {

note the use of xinerama_info under the SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_VIDMODE define. it is defined as:

src/video/x11/SDL_x11video.h:189:#define xinerama_info   (this->hidden->xinerama_info)

which in turn ends up as:

src/video/x11/SDL_x11video.h
118 #if SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_XINERAMA
119     SDL_NAME(XineramaScreenInfo) xinerama_info;
120 #endif

note that the actual xinerama_info field is under the SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_XINERAMA define, therefore with -xinerama it doesn't get defined and hence the compiler error. the quick fix would be to remove the dependency on SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_XINERAMA but upstream probably has a better idea, someone please escalate it there.

Thanks. Its strange that the search terms 'sdl xinerama' doesnt return this bug.. maybe the quotes?
