Description Jonas Jonsson 2004-01-22 20:35:19 UTC 
configure fail on Solaris (XFree 4.3.0).

XTestFakeKeyEvent in libXtst requires that libXext also is in the link.
XOpenDevice in libXi also require that libXext is provided.

you appear to be the only person testing Solaris + XFree.
The 'Sun' Solaris builds with XSun are working correctly as are the
XFree Linux builds on multiple platforms, so your configuration must
be rather unusual.  

If you have a patch for review that would be helpful.

Adding the portability keyword.
Comment 3 bill.haneman 2004-01-28 12:42:00 UTC 
seeking patch or more details about configuration, as this bug is not
seen by Sun build engineers.
Comment 4 Jonas Jonsson 2004-01-28 21:03:09 UTC 
On line 159 in configure.in: Make it

AC_CHECK_LIB(Xtst, XTestFakeKeyEvent, XTST_LIBS=-lXtst,, -lXext)

On line 176 in configure.in: Make it

AC_CHECK_LIB(Xi, XOpenDevice, XTST_LIBS=-lXi,, -lXext)
Comment 5 Jonas Jonsson 2004-01-28 21:06:33 UTC 
I'm no expert at all on autoconf, so the suggestion I've done might
not be complete.  

But it works on my Solaris9 x86 XFree 4.3.0 ....  :-D
Comment 6 Jonas Jonsson 2004-01-28 21:28:02 UTC 
About the pc:

Dual P3 800MHz, 
nVidia GeForce2 GTS(?) 64 Mb,
1,5 Gb RAM, 
Adaptec 29160 & ~ 100 Gb @ Maxtor SCSI-3 Discs,
Quantum 120 Gb IDE drive,
Plextor CD-RW @ SCSI + Pioneer DVD @ SCSI,
Sony DVD-RW IDE

Initially, the reason for getting XFree was that Gnome-1.4 was hard to
compile with the standard X libs from sun (on Solaris 8 ancient). 
Then the x-drivers for nVidia from Sun came, but they didn't work as
well as the Xfree-stuff, so I thought "Don't fix was isn't broken" ...

Patch-status:
Installed latest "Recommended Solaris 9 x86 patch kit" a couple of
days before I started building GARNOME-0.29.1 

Cheers

reducing severity since only reporter has a workaround.
I will look into the prospect of applying the patch however.
Comment 8 bill.haneman 2004-03-24 14:26:49 UTC 
The first part of your suggested fix seems already to have been applied.  I will
apply the -Xext addition to the Xi XINPUT_LIBS check also.
Comment 9 bill.haneman 2004-03-24 14:34:21 UTC 
proposed fix in CVS.  Please reopen if this does not work for you.
