Description Alexander von Gluck 2014-03-18 14:02:37 UTC 
Looking at libpciaccess, the configure.ac seems to require xorg-macros when it is not needed in any way shape or form.  Removing the xorg-macros still results in a functioning build.

I did have to disable the man pages, this may not be related though:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/e1529750/Code/libpciaccess-0.13.2/man'
/bin/sed  < scanpci.man > scanpci.
Usage: /bin/sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

  -n, --quiet, --silent
                 suppress automatic printing of pattern space


Mentioning this as libdrm is supposed to not rely on xorg to function, but it relies on libpciaccess which requires xorg-macros.

Totally related:

man/Makefile.am:
# String replacements in MAN_SUBSTS now come from xorg-macros.m4 via configure
SUFFIXES = .$(APP_MAN_SUFFIX) .man

You do realize that xorg-macros is just a m4 file full of autoconf convenience macros, right? Using it isn't actually relying on xorg to function.
