Description Christopher Byrne 2010-08-07 20:10:09 UTC

x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox-3.2.8 no longer compiles, due to the ./configure script accessing /dev/vboxuser testing for 3D support.

Checking for Mesa / GLU: ACCESS DENIED  open_wr:      /dev/vboxuser

Update mesa-check patch

Made a minor tweak to the mesa checks patch: in the check_mesa function, the configure script compiles and runs a little program to test for Mesa, and the call to glXQueryVersion causes the problem.

However, I don't thinks it actually needed for the program to run - only compile and link. In fact, I'm not even sure its intended to be run - If XOpenDisplay fails, the test program succeeds without even calling glXQueryVersion. So I just removed the test_execute function in check_mesa. Now compiles and runs just fine.

Does this still happen after you re-synced portage?
By looking at your patch it seems like you tried to emerge the package before I added the correct mesa-patch (see bug #331473).

Comment 3 Christopher Byrne 2010-08-20 19:10:20 UTC

The error no longer occurs now

So let's mark this bug as dupe then ;)
