I tried compiling libX11-1.2 but it asked for libxcb-1.1.92 or newer. I tried compiling libxcb-1.1.92 but it asked for python-2.5 or newer. Because of the crazy package dependencies in my workstation, upgrading its python-2.3 to python-2.5 is impossible (hooray for outsourced IT). Also, my build script has to work for dozens of developers who have the same python version as me and the same inability to upgrade. I forced libxcb's configure script to accept my python version, but then libxcb died during the build due to the incompatibility.
Stymied by the python requirement, I tried backing down to libxcb-1.1 which doesn't require it. That compiled fine. But now I had to back down to libX11-1.1. libX11-1.1's build failed due to what appears to be a known bug. Googling says that the only cure is to go to libX11-1.2! I can't build libxcb-1.1.92/libX11-1.2 because I don't have new enough python. I can't build libxcb-1.1/libX11-1.1 because libX11-1.1 is broken. What's the solution? I don't need the python bindings. I just want to build a server that works. Can I disable the python features of libxcb-1.1.92 or newer? Dave PS I'm cross-compiling for multiple architectures. If I seem to be the only person with this problem, that's probably the reason. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
