librecord.so

I'm trying to activate a module called "Record" in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
So trying to get my hands on that and my pacman -Q recordproto shows recordproto 1.14-1 but no librecord.so is on the harddrive (also reinstalled it).
So i try a different approach and downloading recordproto-1.14.tar.gz from x.org but doesnt seem to work either:

make install
-- this command gives the message:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Downloads/recordproto-1.14'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
test -z "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
 /bin/install -c -m 644 recordproto.pc '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig'
test -z "/usr/local/include/X11/extensions" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/include/X11/extensions"
 /bin/install -c -m 644 recordconst.h recordproto.h recordstr.h '/usr/local/include/X11/extensions'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Downloads/recordproto-1.14'

The dirs seems to be wrong, my pkgconfig lib is in /usr/lib/pkgconfig not /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig my xorg extensions is in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions not /usr/local/include/X11/extensions, making a symlinks instead of letting the script create the hardlinks:
ln -s /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ /usr/local/include/X11/extensions
run "make install" again:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Downloads/recordproto-1.14'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
test -z "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
 /bin/install -c -m 644 recordproto.pc '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig'
test -z "/usr/local/include/X11/extensions" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/include/X11/extensions"
 /bin/install -c -m 644 recordconst.h recordproto.h recordstr.h '/usr/local/include/X11/extensions'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Downloads/recordproto-1.14'

Same message, it ignores symlinks and tries to create hardlinks anyways, copy's the .pc and .h files and stops.. no clue what's going on.

So i'm thinking let's play around with the "Makefile" and did the following changes in it:

prefix = /usr/local to /usr
includedir = ${prefix}/include to includedir = ${prefix}/lib
recorddir = $(includedir)/X11/extensions to recorddir = $(includedir)/xorg/modules/extensions

and "make install" again:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Downloads/recordproto-1.14'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
test -z "/usr/lib/pkgconfig" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
 /bin/install -c -m 644 recordproto.pc '/usr/lib/pkgconfig'
test -z "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions"
 /bin/install -c -m 644 recordconst.h recordproto.h recordstr.h '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Downloads/recordproto-1.14'

SAME AS BEFORE (but with correct paths now) does it search for the xorg source files or what Now i think i've got this all wrong, what am i doing lol.. I guess can't use this tar package?

Anyone knows a way how to get my hands on that darn module or how to continue with the archived code?

Re: librecord.so

nvm, i rebuilt xorg-server with --enable-record now i have librecord.so and it loads correctly.. after all this work it won't load with this message:

record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.
record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now..
record: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20500

not funny
