Ftr the issue wasn't about autotools or the release tools. There's
hacks and workarounds in xorg-server which should really be sorted.
If's fine that If you don't have the patience/time/knowledge to fix
them but for once autotools isn't the one to blame here ;-)

meson seems to be the current favourite, see daniels' efforts for weston:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2016-November/031984.html
and some more follow-up here
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2016-December/032033.html

I tried it on libinput - it works nicely and feels a lot 'cleaner', if you
want an unscientific measurement on top of daniels' benchmarks.
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2016-December/032117.html

Not sure how well it'd go for something as crazy as the server build system
but it certainly warrants having a look at.

Cheers,

Re: ARM Cross compilation of the xserver stops with error

2017-03-05 Thread Mr Dini 
Solved! :) Manual edit of libXfont to libXfont2 at the .jhbuildrc did the
trick. :)

Next error:

But I compiled a libxcb manually and installed it to the
/home/pisti/Asztal/Xorg-Pi/storage/.kodi/addons/service.Xorg/root/usr/local/lib64
folder, and I have a libxcb.so.1 here...
