The easy fix is to stop disabling IPv6 support when building Xorg.
But yes, it appears we also should have backported the fix for this issue that
gcc 14 has made an error:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1572
Thank you, yes I do recall there was a problem some months ago build Xwayland
and although a fix was found the next release didn't include it but a later rc
did.
So I will be patient, if an option is provided it should be functional, I am
sure you agree. If it wasn't there would have been dirty hacking intervention
which we don't want.
It was functional for many years (almost two decades), but was broken by
gcc 14 raising several issues from warnings to errors. Until the next 21.1.x
release you should also be able to add "-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types"
to your CFLAGS to bypass this if you must build with IPv6 disabled using gcc 14.
Thank you again, good enough for personal use but altering policy of a
distribution
to accommodate a single package is not a good decision, I think.
Maybe I could use the xwayland patch to create one for xorg-server for the mean
time.
The patches from the merge request I linked above worked fine for me on the 21.1
branch - you should be able to download them in patch format from
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1572.patch .
I'm working on a merge request to backport them to the 21.1 branch but hit
another build failure when testing the build with IPv6 disabled that I'm fixing
first ( https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1736 ).
Also, if master is a commit from years back (or what its version reveals), what
fork
is used for latest rc?
We don't have any recent release candidate builds, just actual releases.
The 21.1.14 release was made from the server-21.1-branch in git.
