The wiki page http://www.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide/#index2h2 documents the dependencies (projects such as Mesa and libraries such as libcrypto) required to build all 200+ modules in the xorg project. Peter, Is the long term plan for libevdev to become an additional dependencies for the X.Org project? That is not a precedent, we already have mesa, pixman and xkeyboard-config as non-xorg dependencies we build. I can add it to build.sh. If in a few years it become ubiquitous, it can be removed. I can also update the above wiki page as well. There is a similar issue with libmtdev, so I might document this one as well. It seems to be more available on distros. All, README excerpt |libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc. git://git.freedesktop.org/git/libevdev http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/ **libevdev is currently in early stages of development. Use at your own risk** The eventual goal is that libevdev wraps all ioctls available to evdev devices, thus making direct access unnecessary.| > > cu, > Knut > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected]: X.Org development > Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel > Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel >
