Description Joaquín Montero Salinas 2017-02-26 13:36:10 UTC
In libdrm-2.4.75, xf86drm.h and xf86drmMode.h include drm.h, which doesn't exist.
drm.h and friends are installed in /usr/local/include/libdrm.

When compiling a C program that includes xf86dri.h with GCC, the following error message appears:

  /usr/include/xf86drm.h:40:17: fatal error: drm.h: No such file or directory
   #include <drm.h>
                   ^

Me again ... 

There is some contradiction in your statement - "drm.h" doesn't exist. "drm.h" does exist in X :-P

But seriously, sounds like want to read-up on pkg-config [1].

In a nut-shell: gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs libdrm` foo.c bar.c -o binary

Me again...

Totally forgot about pkg-config, thought I could get away with just tacking a
-ldrm at the end of my compilation line.

Sorry for wasting your time, again :-P
