xorg-server-catalyst Not Building

hunterthomson · 2009-06-04 04:01:17

Helo,

I tried to build the AUR package xorg-server-catalyst-maximise-fix and it Fails out of makepkg with 2 errors. There was no usefull information given that I could see. Only that the errors had [Install] and [recursive-install] with them.

I also tried to buid the AUR package xorg-server-catalyst and it Fails out with...

Hunk #1 FAILED at 483

I hope one of these could be fixed with some little thing I just don't know about. I tried to install both with yaourt and by downloading the tar ball and running makepkg myself but didn't make a differences

Thank you for reading this

Try the regular catalyst from the AUR.

It is not the catalyst it is a patched Xserver with no-bakfill

This patched Xserver is needed otherwise the whole computer freezes for like 5 sec's just to resize a window.
It works for me in Ubuntu.

No offense, but maybe someone else could see.
That's why it's always recommended that you post the entire build output - makepkg -L will create a build log that you can post here (in code tags, of course).

Notify the package maintainer of both errors via AUR comments - for the second one, he needs to amend the patch.

Ok I didn't know about the -L flag. I'll remember that.

I already commented on both of coarse.

I am doing this on a different HHD so I don't want to take apart my laptop again and again until I get something worth trying.

I guess I just have to learn how to patch the Xserver myself....

Here is the log.

Well it will not let me post the log. Too long. So here is the error part.

I would be ever grateful if someone could explain this guys remark to me? I understand what he is saying but I don't know how to implement his suggestion.

this is the problem of autotools. If a file is repeated more than once in Makefile.am, it will show error while "make install".

Here is a patch.
As you can see, $(XVSDKINCS) already have "xf86xv.h" and "xf86xvmc.h", and on the last line it repeat again. It was said that it's caused by automake-1.10b, but I'm using automake-1.11 though.

Also, I there a way to contact the person who is managing the AUR package ? There should be a way to flag BROKEN. So the manager fixes it. Two packages nether of them work and nether of the managers are saying or doing anything.

tomk · 2009-06-06 21:49:40

Two things:
- the error output you posted above comes after the stuff that's actually useful for debugging. Post the build log on some pastebin and link to it.
- you have already contacted the AUR package maintainer by commenting on it (maintainers are notified by mail if a comment is posted). That was two days ago, and your comment provided absolutely no information that might help the maintainer to solve the problem. Be patient, and remember that AUR maintainers do what they do in their spare time, for no money - just like Arch devs, forum moderators, IRC Ops, wiki contributors, bug wranglers, etc....

Wow,

Well I hope this gets fixed at some point.

But, I got the catalyst to work in Archlinux

I knew the patched xserver was only "Suppose to" be needed when any composite manager was running. However, I was getting the problem before even though I had no composit manager installed. I was like WTF. I though it must have been a problem with Archlinux no matter what.

BUT,

As it turns out the problem was in in the configureation file for terminator terminal. What a curve ball...
I was using a config file I had from my old system in which I had xcomposer installed for transparency. So, in terminator's config file I had the line.
enable-true-transparency=true
That is all it took to mess up Catalyst and bring in the 5second whole computer lockup and stuff.

Wow, What a curve ball.
Moral of the story, Don't use configuration files from an old install. Always, start fresh.

and a funny thing to add... I was using terminator as my test app to see if I was still getting the lockup on window resize and move LOL
===========================================
What a ****ing relief. I gained a new level of hatred for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is so full of crap. Stuff brakes and it is like finding a needle in a haystack to fix ANY problem.
I LOVE ARCHLINUX I think I am going to donate some money Keep up the good work guys and girls.
This is the best Disto Ever. I am so happy to be back. Arch is the perfect mix of configurability, ease of use.
Gentoo is too configurable and Ubuntu is too easy it brakes all the time. Arch is just right, a little pain to set up but after that it works and Stays working.

Arch dose what you tell it to do, Nothing more, Nothing less.... Just make sure your telling it to do the right thing....:rolleyes:
