I'm trying to build Xorg (the git master version) on a slackware 12.1, i686 box using gcc 4.3.3 and libtool 2.2.6. The build/install went fine, but the result was a disaster--basically, none of my pre-existing graphical programs (e.g., gnome, firefox) would work.
The problem is that the pre-existing codes were linked against an older version of Xorg, one that included something called libxcb-xlib.so. This lib is no longer in Xorg, the needed functionality having been moved to other libraries. Nonetheless, when I try to run something I get errors relating to libxcb-xlib not being found. Putting back the old libxcb-xlib fails as some symbols are no longer defined. The xcb folks have only one solution: rebuild everything. I'm sure that this will ultimately work, but given the effort required, is not something I'm willing to do. So, I was hoping someone can suggest an alternate solution. For example, can I simply remove the libxcb-xlib references from all the .la files? How about simply making a dummy libxcb-xlib.so library? Anything else? Thanks in advance. Please CC me directly as I don't subscribe to this list. David _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
