currently configure.ac will set WAYLAND_PROTOCOLS_DATADIR, and then rely on that variable being set, even if wayland-protocols is not installed, causing the variable to be set to nothing. This causes build failures in src/egl/Makefile.am, since WL_DMABUF_XML will be set to /unstable/... This can be replicated by uninstalling wayland-protocols and running `make distcheck`
Indeed, we stumbled on this yesterday but got distracted with something else. Thanks for reporting the issue Dylan!
There should be no issue with WL_DMABUF_XML=/unstable/... since it should not be used in said case. Dylan, can you elaborate exactly what you're doing? What kind of error does it trigger? The `make distcheck' failure is expected, although I'll see if I can add more meaningful/timely error message.
Here's the output from make: make[3]: Entering directory '/home/dylan/source/mesa/distcheck/src/egl' make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/unstable/linux-dmabuf/linux-dmabuf-unstable-v1.xml', needed by 'drivers/dri2/linux-dmabuf-unstable-v1-protocol.c'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/dylan/source/mesa/distcheck/src/egl' make[2]: *** [Makefile:947: distdir] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/dylan/source/mesa/distcheck/src' make[1]: *** [Makefile:752: distdir] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/dylan/source/mesa/distcheck' make: *** [Makefile:850: dist] Error 2 It would be nice to have an error message about a missing dependency rather than make exploding trying to build a target that couldn't possibly exist.
Closing this autotools issue, as autotools has now been deleted (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/merge_requests/601). If you think I may have made a mistake and this issue still needs fixing, feel free to reopen it :)
