Description Ashley Wee 2007-11-15 15:24:52 UTC

When I git-clone the git://anongit.xfreedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel and do ./autogen.sh. It prints out an error message as follows:
./configure: line 20090: syntax error near unexpected token 'XINERAMA'
./configure: line 20090: 'XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT(XINERAMA, xineramaproto)'

I am using the SUSE SLES 9 SP3 kernel 2.6.5-7.244-smp kernel.

You probably don't have the X.Org macro package installed given that you're running on a distro with the old, monolithic version of X.

I suggest talking with your distro about getting a more recent version of the X stack installed on your system, or doing it all yourself (see the X wiki page for instructions on how to download and build everything by hand).

Can you tell me where is the right X.org Macro to download, I tried the following one:
./git-clone.sh git://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/macro
and still got the same error.

Also, can you tell me which X Wiki page. There is too many hits out there to know which one for sure.

you need xorg-server.m4 from the xserver tree.

For others here arriving from Google, looks like SUSE stashes this in the xorg-x11-proto-devel, or xorg-x11-util-macros on Fedora-derived distros.
