Need my network to work to commit this, fixed locally.

[Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-10-05 10:28:13 UTC]

Hm I'd need to see the config.log here because XTest.h is in xextproto which _is_ in the dependencies of synergy. I think I had a bug like this already and the outcome was the same.

[Comment 3 Kobboi 2008-10-21 13:28:54 UTC]

Same problem on a system that is installed with binary packages. All depencies of synergy are in place.

[Comment 4 Kobboi 2008-10-21 13:32:00 UTC]

config.log

config.log belonging to my comment

[Comment 5 Kobboi 2008-10-21 13:38:37 UTC]

The system does have the require file I think:

[Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-10-21 13:55:36 UTC]

Seems like xextproto requires xinputproto to work or XInput.h is missing. X11 team please advise.

[Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2008-10-21 13:58:37 UTC]

Waiting for X11 advise.

[Comment 8 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2008-10-21 14:02:12 UTC]

This bug is fixed with xextproto 7.0.3 which has the correct dep.

[Comment 9 Kobboi 2008-10-22 12:03:24 UTC]

Thanks for looking at the problem. I'm not sure what you want me to check. I upgraded xextproto to 7.0.3, but the problem remains. Don't know what xinputproto is, I see no such package and no files on my system begin with xinput*.

[Comment 10 Kobboi 2008-10-22 12:05:07 UTC]

I'm still fearing that it has something to do with installing the system with binary packages. I have no synergy issues with "normal" (source based) installs.

[Comment 11 Fabio Correa 2009-10-29 09:40:34 UTC]

Hello, I ran into the same issue. I had x11-proto/xextproto-7.1.1; downgrading to 7.0.5 solved the issue.

[Comment 12 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-10-29 09:54:08 UTC]

Headers have changed filenames in the last unstable releases. Synergy will have to be patched to use the new names.

Oh and it's probably better if synergy used pkg-config instead of autoconf macros to find the headers and libs.

Here's an example of such patches :

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=0a4c4c5fe8ebad2dd13f5770bd90a194eebb2890

Thanks

[Comment 13 Tom Fredrik Blenning Klaussen 2009-11-10 17:40:28 UTC]

Just my 5 cents

Synergy is dead, last release was in 2006, wouldn't it be better to use the maintenance fork called synergy-plus. I see Doug Goldstein is doing that, but the package is still hard-masked.

[Comment 14 Adam Nielsen 2009-11-16 22:56:17 UTC]

Just came across this bug, but thanks to some help on the synergy-plus mailing list it turns out the XTest headers have moved to x11-libs/libXtst.  Emerging this package allows Synergy to compile with recent x11-proto/xextproto releases.

I have raised a bug to have libXtst included as a dependency for synergy-plus.  See bug 293435.

[Comment 15 Michael Weber (RETIRED) 2011-02-28 19:11:40 UTC]

x11-libs/libXtst is a dependency in all in-tree versions of x11-misc/synergy
so closing this as fixed.
