Bug#947518: casparcg-server: FTBFS: xf86vmode library not found - required for GLFW

[Julian Waller]

I've just seen a few of the bugs on here, and am having a look at them upstream.

You are right in that GLFW and a few other dependencies are not needed
at all, so I shall be removing those soon in v2.3.0 . I hope to have
that merged before beta1 which is due sometime this week.

I am not surprised that this is the case. Linux support in casparcg is
not the highest priority, so it hasn't had that much attention. As
such the build scripts have been a bit hacked together by people who
don't really know cmake, and littered with remnants of things that
have been long removed.

Thank you very much.  I hope upstream will accept the fix or some
variant of it. :)

What is odd however is that GLFW is not actually used or linked to the
final binaries, only a subset of X libraries are.

I've tried to clean it up a bit, but it seems to me that many cmake
stanzas are quite bogus. And for example, instead of including a
custom GLFW module, an upstream one could be used with
find_package(glfw3 REQUIRED) for example.

Anyway, I hacked up something that works, albeit looks ugly.

Dimitri.
