| flyingi 17:02 Nov 29, 2005 | Attempting to install on a server system, without graphical capabilities. Configured with the "without-x" option, and from configure output shows this feature is, in fact, disabled. However, make produces errors when trying to compile "gdevxalt.c" because the X headers are not available. It seems the build assumes that X is installed on all systems, regardless of configure options. |
| mike 06:21 Nov 30, 2005 | Hmm, will look into this. X_DEVS should not be listed at all... In the meantime, edit the Makefile and remove all references to xalt or X_DEVS. |
| flyingi 14:42 Dec 02, 2005 | Removing these references does not help (nor does removing all the rules for compiling X object modules). The problem is that the configure generated Makefile (around line 400++) sets the variable GS_SHARED_OBJS to ....X11.so. Apparently, this forces generation of a shared X11 dll, regardless of any configure options. Commenting out this line in the generated Makefile works around the problem. Do this *after* running config, obviously, and before the make. Problem still needs a permanent fix, though. |
| Hagar 12:24 Feb 06, 2006 | This only happens if either --enable-dynamic or --disable-dynamic is used with ./configure Success: ./configure --without-x Fails: ./configure --without-x --enable-dynamic Fails: ./configure --without-x --disable-dynamic |
| mike 06:30 Apr 23, 2006 | Fixed in Subversion repository. |
