Description n8gray 2004-12-21 23:33:42 UTC

If you use lndir to make a build tree then the XDarwin.app that gets installed by 'make install' is broken.

[n8gray@golux MainMenu.nib]$ pwd
/Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib
[n8gray@golux MainMenu.nib]$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     admin         103 Dec 21 18:38 classes.nib -> ../../../../../../../../xc-cvs/
programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/classes.nib

programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib

Needless to say, these symlinks don't work and XDarwin can't start.  This is X.org 6.8.2 RC1 built with 
an lndir source tree on OS X 10.3.7.

Comment 1 Torrey T. Lyons 2004-12-22 11:28:36 UTC

Assigning to me as this is a Darwin specific build issue. Solutions are:

1. Have Apple modify Xcode to add an option to follow symlinks in assembling application bundles. I 
filed a bug/feature request with them for this awhile ago. I'm not holding my breath.

2. Stop using Xcode to assemble the application bundle. The requires teaching Imake or some other 
build system in the modular tree to be able to make application bundles. This is a bit of a moving 
target since the X11 build mechanics are in flux.

I wanted to use lndir as well to prepare the build and noticed lndir is provided
by xorg, so people who don't have xorg installed can't use lndir. Not to
terrible. I compile it first as follows:

    cd $BUILDDIR
    sed -e 's|X11/Xos|string|;s|X11/Xfuncproto|unistd|' \
        $PKGMK_SOURCE_DIR/xc/config/util/lndir.c \
        > lndir.c
    gcc lndir.c -o lndir
    ./lndir $PKGMK_SOURCE_DIR/xc
    rm lndir*

Perhaps it's an idea to replace the X11 headers in lndir like I did, so people
can build it without having to have x11 installed.

Is this still an issue using a current version of xorg?

Comment 4 Daniel Stone 2007-02-27 01:24:53 UTC

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Comment 5 Ben Byer 2007-11-02 16:49:56 UTC

no longer an issue.
