As you may probably know, any serious packaging tool doesn't runs on the
computer of an user but probably in a server, pretty sure in a chroot
environment and probably that machine doesn't even has the xorg packages
installed because it don't needs to run an X at all
In the past I needed to add some dbus daemon binding/hacking in the chroot
in order to make it able to generate the thumbnails for the docs, but
actually it dont runs anymore gettings stuck in the previews generator
process
As cedric pointed me:
<cedric> Thanatermesis, it is likely an issue in your setup
<cedric> for example if you have SCIM support
<cedric> that require an X server to be running
<cedric> or it will deadlock
I tried then to use the xvfb-run tool which run things in a virtualized X
environment headless, which stops the server when the process when the run
command has finished, this would improve the docs packaging by not
requiring an X11 running and connected and so being just "another building
dependency" for packaging.
So I tried to change the doc/Makefile.am to something like this:
echo "Generating widget preview image" $${SS} "for widget"
$${DIR}; \
xvfb-run -a -n 31 --server-args="-screen 0 $${X}x$${Y}x24"
$(top_srcdir)/doc/shot.sh $(top_builddir)/doc/html/img/widget/$${DIR}
$${SS} $(top_builddir)/doc/widgets/$${BIN} $${X} $${Y} ; \
But it stills having the preview process stuck
