While I was working for the thread "syslinux build failure", built
current Tigervnc-1.4.2, and found some points that would possibly
deserve some modifications:
1. The ftp URL for xorg-server has a long delay, while the following one
starts the download with non-perceptible delay:
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/xserver/xorg-server-1.16.2.901.tar.bz2
2. Older xorg=server is still used in the build instructions and needs
modification:
s/xorg-server-1.15.0/xorg-server-1.16.2.901/
3. Minor reformat needed (?):
From
pushd unix/xserver &&
patch -Np1 -i ../../../tigervnc-1.4.2-xorg116-1.patch &&
autoreconf -fi &&
to
pushd unix/xserver &&
patch -Np1 -i ../../../tigervnc-1.4.2-xorg116-1.patch &&
autoreconf -fi &&
4. Minor reformat in the configure switches perhaps needed:
From
--disable-devel-docs --disable-config-hal --disable-config-udev \
--disable-unit-tests --disable-selective-werror \
--without-dtrace --enable-dri2 --enable-glx \
--enable-glx-tls --with-pic &&
make &&
popd
to
--disable-devel-docs --disable-config-hal --disable-config-udev \
--disable-unit-tests --disable-selective-werror \
--without-dtrace --enable-dri2 --enable-glx \
--enable-glx-tls --with-pic &&
make &&
5. Didn't find any reference to *asm in the log, so, seems not rquired.
Search in the source (grep) seems to output only bundled packages. These
ones are not needed during tigervc build, because are listed as
required. Didin't to a much extensive reading of the grep output, but
one example is libjpeg-turbo, required, so nasm is only need when
building it. Probably a best category for nasm would be "Optional".
Again, I don't want to decide.
Bruce, perhaps you would want to consider some of these, as you maintain
the package. Also, you have a better judgement of all these items than I
do. Any way, in case you wish and don't find time for doing it/them, I
can make your approved modifications.
Excellent suggestions. I'll fix that up.
