Description Peter Dyballa 2006-10-23 16:34:40 UTC

Building xserver module component ...

After this

	/Users/pete/Quellen/X11R7.1/xserver/install-sh -d /Users/pete/Quellen/X11R7.1/xserver/xorg-
server-1.1.99.3/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/libusb
	/Users/pete/Quellen/X11R7.1/xserver/install-sh -d /Users/pete/Quellen/X11R7.1/xserver/xorg-
server-1.1.99.3/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/./../shared

and many

	echo "some text" >> file(s)

compilation ends prematurely with:

echo "#define PCIDATA" > xf86PciData.c
echo "#include \"./xf86ScanPci.c\"" >> xf86PciData.c
cat ./pci.ids ./extrapci.ids |  ./pciid2c.pl ./../common/xf86PciInfo.h > xf86PciIds.h
/bin/sh: line 1: ./pciid2c.pl: Permission denied
make[3]: *** [xf86PciIds.h] Error 126

Comment 1 Peter Dyballa 2006-10-23 16:42:44 UTC

I forgot: the Perl script is not executible:

          -rw-r--r--   1 pete  pete  11460 11 Okt 22:36 xserver/hw/xfree86/scanpci/pciid2c.pl

Comment 2 Alan Coopersmith 2006-10-23 16:45:00 UTC

You need to make sure configure finds a working copy of perl - the Makefile line
is:

cat $(srcdir)/pci.ids $(srcdir)/extrapci.ids | $(PERL) $(srcdir)/pciid2c.pl
$(srcdir)/../common/xf86PciInfo.h > xf86PciIds.h

so it appears your $(PERL) is null.   (configure should be fixed to error out 
if it can't find perl.)

Comment 3 Peter Dyballa 2006-10-24 03:08:26 UTC

Yes, that:s right: the PERL macro in Makefile(s) and config.log is empty.

On Mac OS X the perl binary is usually /usr/bin/perl. Looking into the *compile* buffer in GNU Emacs I 
cannot see any  line that references PERL. Grepping for the relevant messages from xserver/configure I 
get

	echo $ECHO_N "checking whether to build Xglx DDX... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking for XGLXMODULES... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking for dlopen... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking for dlopen in -ldl... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking Solaris version... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking whether __SUNPRO_C is declared... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking whether _LP64 is declared... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking for $ac_word... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking whether to build Xprint DDX... $ECHO_C" >&6; }
	echo $ECHO_N "checking for XPRINT... $ECHO_C" >&6; }

but in *compile* I only have:

	checking whether to build Xglx DDX... no
	checking whether to build Xprint DDX... yes
	checking for XPRINT... yes

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

Comment 5 Peter Dyballa 2007-03-11 13:10:59 UTC

Again, this seems to be a faulty bug report because I did not run build.sh with --disable-glx in CONFFLAGS since GLX is not supported for XDarwin.
