Description Bart Massey 2006-04-17 17:41:27 UTC

Currently, xcb-util/image/test_image.c and xcb-util/image/test_image_shm.c fail
to build, because they don't pull in the newly-split-out libXCBShm.so from
anywhere.  I think this problem will affect most any XCB program that uses
shared memory, and maybe more than that; the old assumption that building
normally will include XCBShm support is no longer valid post-split.

I can think of a *lot* of ways to fix this. Somebody more clueful than me needs
to pick one.

maybe adding a .pc file for each new extension lib ?

Comment 2 Bart Massey 2006-04-18 16:17:49 UTC

I think the consensus of Josh and I is that we need to do both the pkgconfig
thing and make the shared libraries dependent (on platforms that support this
latter thing).

After yesterday's changes, configure succeeds, but make fails immediately:

host-226-230:~/xcb/xcb/xcb-util iosgood$ make
 cd . && /bin/sh /Users/iosgood/xcb/xcb/xcb-util/missing --run automake-1.9 --foreign 
atom/Makefile.am: required file `./compile' not found
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

Comment 4 Ian Osgood 2006-04-28 05:08:06 UTC

After a little digging on the net, I found I had to run autoreconf -i to rebuild xcb-util/compile.  (On my OS 
X system, I first had to export LIBTOOLIZE=glibtoolize.)  Now xcb-util builds.

Ain't automake grand?

Fixed this in git commit 34850b55d7eb245a3b3bbd065b4d00f0e1017c5d; closing bug.
