Bug 282140 – x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.8: patch for build failure with x11-proto/xextproto-7.1.0 from x11 overlay

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Karl Mikaelsson 2009-08-20 19:21:27 UTC]

the fglrx_gamma part of ati-drivers-9.8 fails to build with xextproto-7.1.0 because of a missing XTest.h header, which is missing from xextproto-7.1.0 (xtestproto.h seems to be the replacement, but I'm not too familiar with these parts of X to tell for sure).

Having a quick look at the source code, it doesn't seem to use the header for anything, so removing the #include line from the source file makes ati-drivers-9.8 build again.

scarabeus recommended me to file a bug, so here it is :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. layman -a x11
2. emerge =x11-proto/xextproto-7.1.0
3. emerge =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.8

Actual Results:  
The compilation dies due to missing header file (X11/extensions/XTest.h).

Ebuild patch

This patch for the 9.8 ebuild makes it compile, install and work pretty nice for me.

[Comment 2 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2009-09-04 16:48:34 UTC]

After carefull research i did i found out this:
The new xextproto si for xorg-server-1.7 so that wont be supported by this driver. It was wrongly unmasked in x11 overlay you are using thus you get this issue.
I wont patch it cause using it with this thing might cause weird behavior.
If you are still using that version i recomend downgrade.

Cheers and sorry for the delay.
