tried that no joy I'm afraid, it seem to be a problem with pkgconfig macros
used by cmake:-
A) My pkgconfig path is set like so:-
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
( a check of xi.pc is below:-
##########################
root [ /usr/X11R7.5/lib/pkgconfig ]# ls xi.pc
xi.pc
root [ /usr/X11R7.5/lib/pkgconfig ]# cat xi.pc
prefix=/usr/X11R7.5
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: Xi
Description: X Input Extension Library
Version: 1.3
Requires: inputproto
Requires.private: x11 xext
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs: -L${libdir} -lXi
root [ /usr/X11R7.5/lib/pkgconfig ]#
#########################
as regards XI headers I have these:-
root [ ~ ]# ls /usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions/XI*.h
/usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions/XI.h
/usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions/XInput.h
/usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions/XI2.h
/usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions/XInput2.h
/usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions/XI2proto.h
/usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions/XIproto.h
root [ ~ ]#
#######################
B) I fixed the file to find libXi (including to check PKG_CONFIG ( here I
use the kde one and I am unsure if it is really checking the set
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ); I now call it FindlibXi.cmake created like so:-
######### file to find libXi (not in /usr/
cd kdebase-workspace-4.4.2
cat >cmake/modules/FindlibXi.cmake<<"EOF"
###########################################
FIND_PATH(LIBXi_INCLUDE_DIR XI.h /usr/X11R7.5/include/X11/extensions )
FIND_LIBRARY(LIBXi_LIBRARY NAMES libXi.so libXi.so.6 libXi.so.6.1.0
PATH /usr/X11R7.5/lib /usr/X11R7.5/lib64 )
IF (LIBXi_INCLUDE_DIR AND LIBXi_LIBRARY)
IF (NOT WIN32)
# use pkg-config to get the directories and then use these values
# in the FIND_PATH() and FIND_LIBRARY() calls
INCLUDE(UsePkgConfig)
pkg_check_modules(LIBXi libXi>=1.2.0)
ENDIF (NOT WIN32)
SET(LIBXi_FOUND TRUE)
ENDIF (LIBXi_INCLUDE_DIR AND LIBXi_LIBRARY)
IF (LIBXi_FOUND)
IF (NOT libXi_FIND_QUIETLY)
message(STATUS "Found libXi: ${LIBXi_LIBRARY}")
ENDIF (NOT libXi_FIND_QUIETLY)
ELSE (LIBXi_FOUND)
IF (libXi_FIND_REQUIRED)
message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not find libXi")
ENDIF (libXi_FIND_REQUIRED)
ENDIF (LIBXi_FOUND)
EOF
C) I force cmake to 'execute' this file before a Makefile is generated like
so:-
cd $SOURCES/kdebase-workspace-4.4.2
cat CMakeLists.txt | sed -e '25 i find_package(libXi REQUIRED)'
>CMakeLists.txt2
mv -v CMakeLists.txt2 CMakeLists.txt
cd cmake/modules
cat CMakeLists.txt | sed -e '6 i FindlibXi.cmake )' >CMakeLists.txt3
mv -v CMakeLists.txt3 CMakeLists.txt
(my seds are a little crufty; perhaps someone on list could suggest something
more elegant)
D) The output from cmake shows that libXi is found :-

as shown in the xi.pc above).
E) ..then the usual 'hardwired' failure if libXi is not in /usr/lib of make
at 84%
----------------
Clearly there is something wrong with xi.pc not being checked for the
correct version or there is some macro to report libXi of version
>=1.2.0 only if it is found in /usr/lib or some such. (I also noticed
this line
-- WARNING: you are using the obsolete 'PKGCONFIG' macro use FindPkgConfig
(whether I use '
UsePkgConfig ' or 'FindPkgConfig ' in the FindLibxi.cmake macro above. I
am also unsure of which X1.h header to use in said macro. I have tried XI.h
and XI2.h all with the same result. I also came across this link which
could be of relevance:
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-buildsystem/2009-April/005716.html
Sorry about the long post and thanks to you all for all the suggestions,
(AND if anyone know of a better way to use pkgconfig with cmake (find
package) rather than that which I am using I would be grateful for
suggestions)
sincerely
