'build-xorg -version 7.5' should be considered an experimental feature
at the moment. I have never been able to successfully build TigerVNC
against Xorg 7.5 on RedHat Enterprise 4 or 5. Currently, I get an error
when build-xorg tries to autoconf the Xorg source:
configure.ac:468: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure:463: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY
configure:2493: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_CC_C99
configure:4791: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_VERSION_COMPARE
configure:4793: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
My suspicion is that Xorg 7.5 requires a newer version of autoconf than
I have, although its configure.ac file still claims to support 2.57 and
later. You may be running into a similar issue.
Bearing in mind that there are two ways to build TigerVNC: (1) a
system-specific build which uses the installed Xorg headers and
libraries, and (2) a cross-compatible build that uses build-xorg to
download and build the relevant Xorg packages on systems that don't have
them: my general opinion is that in the case of (2), we need to support
only one version of Xorg that we know works. It seems like if the goal
is backward compatibility, Xorg 7.4 is the better choice.
