Re: [Tigervnc-devel] building with host headers
Need Cendio's feedback on that in particular, since they were the ones who paid for the '-version 7.5' modification to build-xorg +1, I'm for removal of 7.5 support and we can consider removal of the build-xorg-git script as well. Still need feedback from Peter or Pierre regarding this. We are still building against xorg-server-1.5, but we do not use the build-xorg-git script.

How are you building against Xorg 7.5? Did you not run into the autotools issue?

Apart from that, it seems to work fine. I'm spinning a new build right now and will upload it to the pre-releases page and merge the patch with trunk if everything goes well. Thanks for it. I was never able to repro the key repeat issue to begin with, so I have no idea whether this fixes it. Others will have to test that once the build is up. AFAIK this issue is reproducible only with Windows viewers (TightVNC 1.3.10, RealVNC). IMHO, we should consider removing the Xorg 7.5 support from build-xorg. I don't think anyone has successfully gotten 'build-xorg -version 7.5' to work properly. IMHO, build-xorg should be standardized around one version of the X server that we know to work, so if we decide there are compelling enough reasons to use 7.5, we should upgrade everyone who is using build-xorg to that version. That may mean updating the build tool requirements to reflect the fact that Xorg 7.5 seems to work only with newer autoconf/automake. I'm OK with that as long as there are compelling reasons to upgrade to 7.5, but I don't want to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. It needs to be something that is done to address specific issues.

Re: [Tigervnc-devel] building with host headers
Hello Martin, as DRC stated build-xorg script should be used only on legacy platforms. It will be big overhead for us to support one-script-for-all build. As a quick hint how to determine what is legacy and what isn't, you can check unix/xserver*.patch files. When your distro contains xorg server 1.5.X and newer, you should build Xvnc natively. Good example which parameters should be passed to ./configure is in the distribution xorg package. Older systems (xorg server 1.4.X and older, XFree86 etc) should use build-xorg script. Additionally Xvnc built with xorg-build script can contain many bugs (yeah, also security bugs) which are already fixed; good example is infamous key-repeating bug in our prebuilt Xvnc... I understand building of Xvnc is quite uncomfortable but this issue is inherited from upstream X.Org source.

So what is the correct way of building Xvnc using the host's headers? Are there any instructions or scripts for doing that? I am concerned that the builds I have made available are using the wrong build method and may therefore have undesirable side effects. btw, as for fixing the build error I reported last month (which seems to have slipped under the radar), the following patch does workaround the issue on some platforms (debian sid for example), but is obviously not a proper fix: # cat tigervnc-trunk/unix/xorg-7.4-patches/0005-ldl-lpthread.patch --- a/hw/vnc/Makefile.am 2011-04-27 18:05:16.112292001 + +++ b/hw/vnc/Makefile.am 2011-04-27 18:06:32.662285527 + @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ RDR_LIB=$(LIB_DIR)/rdr/librdr.la $(GNUTLS_LDFLAGS) NETWORK_LIB=$(LIB_DIR)/network/libnetwork.la XREGION_LIB=$(LIB_DIR)/Xregion/libXregion.la -COMMON_LIBS=$(NETWORK_LIB) $(RFB_LIB) $(RDR_LIB) $(XREGION_LIB) +COMMON_LIBS=$(NETWORK_LIB) $(RFB_LIB) $(RDR_LIB) $(XREGION_LIB) -ldl -lpthread noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libvnccommon.la Thanks Antoine -- WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.

Re: [Tigervnc-devel] building with host headers
I've just verified Xvnc based on xserver 1.6.5 works fine. Note you also need to bump some modules to fix xserver requirements. Complete patch is attached on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3290864group_id=254363atid=1126848 Are you able to verify if it is possible to compile xserver 1.6.5 on legacy systems, please? I have no such system handy right now.
