Description Hopeless 2007-12-27 16:45:53 UTC
Emerging xorg-server on a new install (from a stage 2 tarball), and it fails at configure because it can't find xres.

This with xorg-server 1.4.0.90, but I would imagine it also applies to at least 1.4-r2, and with the following USE flag settings; USE="dmx dri minimal xorg -3dfx -debug -hal -ipv6 -kdrive (-nptl) -sdl -xprint"

The following is from the RDEPEND section of xorg-server-1.4.0.90.ebuild;           
        !minimal? ( >=x11-libs/libXtst-1.0.3
                >=x11-libs/libXres-1.0.3 )

It works fine after emerging libXres, so I suggest making it depend on that lib regardless of whether or not the "minimal" use flag is enabled.

I didn't catch the error message, as I didn't realize at the time it was just an ebuild issue, but I can unmerge libXres and re-emerge xorg-server to catch and post the error if required.

Reproducible: Always

I would really like the error, because then I can track down what exactly is pulling in Xres that didn't used to.

Please reopen when you reply.
Comment 3 Hopeless 2008-05-06 15:10:03 UTC
I'm unable to recreate this now, so it should probably be marked INVALID.

After `emerge -C libXres && USE=minimal emerge xorg-server`, xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3 installs just fine, WITHOUT pulling in libXres.

Sorry for the long delay.
