Re: CentOS 6.4 gtk+-3.6.2 build failure

2013-03-26 Thread Roger Davis

OK, I think I've figured out what's going on and fixed it. (I now know a lot
more about autoconf than I ever wanted to. ;-> ). The xorg* downgrade that was
required to get my X server working again introduced an incompatibility between 
the xorg-x11-proto-devel and libXi-* packages. After downgrading the latter
to the CentOS 6.3 version the gtk+3 configure script worked properly and things
compiled OK. (Haven't tested my actual app yet as I am at a remote site, but
it's probably all right.)

This CentOS 6.4 Xorg ABI mess is truly something special -- I expect it will be
the gift that keeps on giving. Beware!!

Not sure about that, but the thing that bothers me is that the shiny 
new pango 1.34.0 ("latest stable", one might suppose) depends on a

release-candidate version of fontconfig (2.10.91).

Any chance of getting this regularized?

Re: CentOS 6.4 gtk+-3.6.2 build failure

2013-03-26 Thread Roger Davis

Sorry, apparently my original post *did* get through, oops!

Anyway, I have tracked this down a little further but am unsure on how
to proceed. The error is due to an incorrect version of XI2.h installed
in /usr/include/X11/extensions. The newer release of the relevant package
(xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.6-25.el6.noarch) has the required #defines, but
the older release (xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.6-13.el6.noarch) doesn't.
Apparently there is some confusion in my package system or elsewhere due
to the CentOS 6.4 upgrade that was performed while excluding newer Xorg
package updates.

I have not yet tried upgrading this single package, I suspect that if I
do the gtk3 build (or my own app builds) will just fail later on when code
is linked to whatever X11 library is supposed to include these functions.
I also suspect if I try to install the newerr libraries I will get a big
dependency mess related to other new xorg packages that are missing.

Like I said, if this is just about touchscreen stuff I don't need it, so
if anyone knows how to fully degrade my system so that the gtk3+ configure
will believe I have the older release, that would be fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

CentOS 6.4 gtk+-3.6.2 build failure

2013-03-26 Thread Roger Davis

[ Apologies if this is a needless repost -- I tried to mail this earlier
but am pretty certain the mail never left my system. ]

Hi all,

I just upgraded several CentOS 6.3 systems to 6.4 and have been rebuilding
gtk+-3.6.2 (and all its dependencies, e.g., glib, gdk-pixbuf, etc.) on all
of them. This has gone fine except for 2 problem systems subject to the new
Xorg 1.13 ABI bug because of their particular graphics hardware. To get
those particular systems to properly upgrade to 6.4 yet still be able to
run Xorg, I had to add exclude all xorg* package updates via the line

exclude=xorg*

appended to /etc/yum.conf before doing the 6.4 update. On one of those
systems, I did the normal full upgrade first, then discovered my system
suffered from this bug and had to do a yum downgrade back to the 6.3
packages.

On these two problem systems, my build of gtk3+ fails here very close to
the beginning of the make:

make[4]: Entering directory `/opt/gtk3/gtk+-3.6.2/gdk/x11'
  CC   gdkapplaunchcontext-x11.lo
  CC   gdkasync.lo

  CC   gdkdevice-core-x11.lo

gdkdevice-xi2.c: In function '_gdk_x11_device_xi2_translate_event_mask':

gdkdevice-xi2.c:723: error: for each function it appears in.)

function)
gdkdevice-xi2.c:725: error: 'XI_TouchEnd' undeclared (first use in this 
function)

Looking at my ./configure output from just prior to the make, I see this
possibly relevant info:

...
checking if  is needed for xReply... no
checking for XkbQueryExtension... yes
checking for XShapeCombineMask... yes
checking for XSyncQueryExtension... yes
checking for X11/extensions/sync.h... yes

checking X11/extensions/XInput2.h presence... yes
checking for X11/extensions/XInput2.h... yes
checking for XIAllowTouchEvents... yes
checking for XIScrollClassInfo.number... yes
...

I'm guessing that whatever package contains the XI_Touch* functions is not
fully present on the system although perhaps configure seems to think that
it is. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!
