Openchrome on OBSD 4.2 working
Hi,
With a little bit of touching up I have managed to build and install the latest
trunk Openchrome driver under OpenBSD 4.2 with its Xorg 7.2.0 - yay. And once I
get the right monitor settings to solve the bandwidth problems I am sitting
happily at 1280x1024 32bpp. Happy bunny.
For the record, the "fixes" I had to do were as follows:
1. src/Makefile.am - the svn revision buildcomment needs an extra \ before \n,
otherwise the generated C macro spans 2 lines which is a no no and kills the
build. This may a Linux/OpenBSD compiler default settings issue, but either way
it just ain't C. Here is the svn diff for it:
Index: src/Makefile.am
===================================================================
--- src/Makefile.am (revision 493)
+++ src/Makefile.am (working copy)

echo '#include "svnrelease.h"' > [EMAIL PROTECTED]; \
elif [ -d .svn ]; then \
echo '#define BUILDCOMMENT "(development build, at svn revision '\

else date +'#define BUILDCOMMENT "(development build, compiled on
%c)\n"' > [EMAIL PROTECTED]; fi
@(chmod 666 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2> /dev/null || /bin/true)
While hacking this I also encountered an assumption that /bin/true exists -
this is not so on OBSD, it's in /usr/bin, but if the buildcomment fix is in
then this is not triggered.
2. The install assumes the X11 modules dir is in /usr/lib/xorg when on default
install OBSD it is /usr/X11R6/lib - a link sorted that out for now.
3. The installer assumes the man path for the man page is /usr/man when it
should be /usr/local/man, simply copied the file and removed the wrong
directory.
And that is it - I haven't tried any of the fancy stuff, just using 2d windows,
no TV, no video, etc.
If you want me to check build changes for OBSD compatibility I am more than
happy to help.
TTFN
