Description Nate Graham 2017-04-01 20:41:42 UTC

The instructions on https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/building_libinput.html don't have any instructions for openSUSE--only SuSE, which is different and not applicable.

Here's what the correct commands are for openSUSE (tested by me):

Reinstall:
sudo zypper install --force libinput10


Build dependencies:
sudo zypper modifyrepo --enable `zypper repos | grep source | awk '{print $5}'` (this is to support Tumbleweed and all the different Leap versions)
sudo zypper source-install -d libinput10

Also, the source package in openSUSE doesn't seem to have the correct dependencies listed. You need to manually install automake and libtool. For that, I've filed https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1032023

Dunno if that's info worth adding to the wiki, or omitting it because the bug should be fixed eventually.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2017-04-01 22:09:47 UTC

Update after talking with the openSUSE folks. Here's what the Build Dependencies section should say for openSUSE:


sudo zypper modifyrepo --enable `zypper repos | grep source | awk '{print $5}'` (this is to support Tumbleweed and all the different Leap versions)
sudo zypper source-install -d libinput10
sudo zypper install autoconf automake libtool
sudo zypper modifyrepo --disable `zypper repos | grep source | awk '{print $5}'` (optional, if it wasn't enabled before and you don't want to keep it enabled)

Any chance you can attach a patch I can just apply? Thanks

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2017-04-03 03:31:17 UTC

I'd love to. What's the repo for the documentation? I couldn't find one, and it's not a wiki.

Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2017-04-03 04:44:13 UTC

it's the libinput repo itself, build instructions are in doc/building.dox

Yay, I see it live.
