Adds -D_XSERVER64 to CFLAGS when building glx and mesa sources in 64bit machines (6.29 KB, patch)

Description Igor V. Kovalenko 2006-02-07 19:03:08 UTC
The problem is that glcontextmodes.c being imported from Mesa sources to GL/glx
module of xorg-server does not include necessary server-related configuration
files. This is resulting in e.g. VisualID being typedef'd differently from other
glx files at least on amd64.
Therefore attempt to copy visual config using glcontextmodes.c results in
off-by-4byte error, and blue bits size is copied from alpha bit size, which
preclude detection of matching visuals later.

mesa-6.4.2-xorg-server-uses-bad-datatypes-breaking-AMD64-fdo5835.patch

This is the patch I've applied to Red Hat packages for Fedora Core, which has
been confirmed to resolve the problem:

Comment 3 Brian Paul 2006-02-09 01:48:23 UTC
OK, I've checked in this patch to Mesa CVS, both the 6.4 branch and the trunk.
Closing bug now.

Brian, you should have committed the second patch which was actually discussed
on xorg-devel and tested by Mike's users. Though the only diff is removed
conditional on XFree86Server.
Comment 5 Brian Paul 2006-02-10 01:24:27 UTC
OK, fixed.
Comment 6 David Reveman 2006-02-15 02:34:44 UTC
Still not fixed for me. glcontextmodes.c is not the only file that needs to
include dix-config.h. Any file that end up including X.h will need dix-config.h.
Not sure exactly what files that is but including dix-config.h in glheader.h and
making sure HAVE_DIX_CONFIG is defined when building mesa sources in xorg works
for me. I'm attaching my mesa and xorg diffs.

Couldn't the #include <dix-config.h> be added to X.h itself then?
Comment 10 David Reveman 2006-02-15 03:20:32 UTC
X.h is part of the xproto package. It would be a bit ugly to have it include an
xorg server config.h file.

I think the best would be to have the server add -D_XSERVER64 to it's CFLAGS
(when building glx and glcore) as then we wouldn't have to worry about having
the mesa sources include dix-config.h.

I agree, but doesn't that apply to glheader.h in the Mesa tree as well?

I completely agree that this should ideally be solved in the xserver tree, but
if I had to choose between glheader.h and X.h, I'd choose the latter because
that would also cover other similar problems that may lurk somewhere.
Comment 12 David Reveman 2006-02-15 10:21:41 UTC
glheader.h is at least not installed on the system.

I've made a patch for xorg that adds -D_XSERVER64 to GLX_CFLAGS on 64bit
machines and GLX_CFLAGS is added to CFLAGS when building all mesa sources. This
should work OK and we don't have to modify Mesa at all. I'll commit this patch
to the xgl branch once I've verified that it works.

Comment 14 Daniel Stone 2006-02-15 14:58:33 UTC
this is the exact reason dix-config.h was created.  new files that are going to
be compiled in the server should be using it.  if dix-config.h inclusion is not
guaranteed, then a whole bunch of assumptions the build system makes are
invalid, and we're back to the bad old days of everything ever in CFLAGS.  so
please just make all the relevant files include dix-config.h.
Comment 15 David Reveman 2006-02-15 15:34:37 UTC
OK. That means all mesa source files need to include dix-config.h. My glheader.h
patch seams like the best way to accomplish that.

I've already committed my CFLAGS patch to xorg xgl branch but I'll back that out
as soon as mesa sources include dix-config.h properly.
Comment 16 Eric Anholt 2006-02-16 13:38:45 UTC
Fixed in HEAD and xgl-0-0-1 as of today.
