I'm in the process of installing the Xorg Libinput Driver according to instructions in
BLFS 8.2-systemd, chapter 24, section "Xorg Drivers".
So far I have compiled and installed libevdev-1.5.8, Xorg Evdev Driver-2.10.5,
and libinput-1.10.0. But when I run the configure script of the Xorg Libinput
Driver-0.26.0 I get
($XORG_PREFIX="/usr"):
$ ./configure $XORG_CONFIG
...
checking for XORG... yes
checking for LIBINPUT... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libinput >= 1.4.901) were not met:
No package 'libinput' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBINPUT_CFLAGS
and LIBINPUT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
$ whereis libinput
libinput: /usr/bin/libinput /usr/lib64/libinput.so /usr/include/libinput.h
/usr/libexec/libinput /usr/share/man/man1/libinput.1
It looks like libinput is indeed installed, but somehow the Xorg Libinput Driver-0.26.0
can't find it. I've run "ldconfig" as root to make sure that everything is up
to date, but that didn't help
either. What to do? What about the suggestions concerning $PKG_CONFIG_PATH,
$LIBINPUT_CFLAGS, or $LIBINPUT_LIBS, what to make of these?
Thanks a lot,
Hans
What does 'cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libinput.pc' produce?
libinput.so should be under /usr/lib and not /usr/lib64.
Wayne.
Hmm, /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libinput.pc does not exist. But there is
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libinput.pc.
# cat /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libinput.pc
prefix=/usr
libdir=${prefix}/lib64
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: Libinput
Description: Input device library
Version: 1.10.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -linput
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Looks like libinput.so ended up in /usr/lib64 rather than /usr/lib indeed. Does
it need to be moved manually?
Thanks a lot,
Hans--
