[gentoo-user] gccmakedep

[Jim]

Does anyone know the path to this file?  I am trying to compile
net-misc/tightvnc and have run in to several issues.  I am trying to get
it to compile on xorg 7.0.  If I get it to compile I will submit a bug
report.

I cannot use the standard net-misc/vnc because it wants to merge an
older version of xorg.

I an trying to run x11-misc/vnc2swf to make a demo.  However I cannot
get it to with net-misc/vino or x11-misc/x11vnc.  When I connect to
local host, both of those apps go nuts and start a mirror effect.

So it looks like I need to run a separate xvncserver to do the vnc
recording.

Is that what you were asking?

You might also need to emerge

app-text/rman

I emerged TightVNC about two days ago.

Also, check http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127001 if it Xvnc (run by the
script vncserver) refuses to run.

Thanks.  I wonder why TightVNC is so broken on xorg 7.0?

The maintainer of the ebuild just needs to add imake, gccmakedep and rman as
dependencies. Other than that, it's the developer's responsibility to adapt
TightVNC for any dream, nightmare, or anonyance that Xorg 7.0 might have brought.

Apologies for not looking into it deeper before. Fine the ebuild is; this is a
common Portage problem.

See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112896 for more information.


Those are the dependencies needed to build TightVNC.

1	DEPEND="|| ( ( x11-libs/libXaw
2	            x11-proto/xextproto
3	            >=x11-misc/imake-1
4	            x11-misc/gccmakedep
5	            app-text/rman
6	            server? ( x11-libs/libXp
7	                x11-proto/inputproto
8	                x11-proto/kbproto
9	                x11-proto/printproto
10	                x11-proto/scrnsaverproto
11	            )
13	        )
14	        virtual/x11
15	    )
16	    ~media-libs/jpeg-6b
17	    sys-libs/zlib
18	    tcpd? ( >=sys-apps/tcp-wrappers-7.6-r2 )
19	    !net-misc/vnc"

See in Line 1 the || ?
That tells portage that to build TightVNC:
1). We need either the packages:
        x11-libs/libXaw
        >=x11-misc/imake-1 (imake version 1 or greater)
        x11-misc/gccmakedep
        app-text/rman
    and if the 'server' USE flag is set:
        x11-libs/libXp
        ... so on ...
        x11-proto/scrnsaverproto.

2). OR, OR, OR, OR!!, OR:
	virtual/x11

If you look in /usr/portage/virtual/x11, there are currently two ebuilds in that
directory: x11-6.8 and x11-7.0

x11-6.8 depends on <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.99, and x11-7.0 depends on all these:
	>=x11-base/xorg-x11-7
        x11-apps/xdm
        x11-apps/xdpyinfo
        x11-apps/xrdb
        x11-apps/xsetroot
        x11-libs/libFS
        x11-libs/liboldX
        x11-libs/libXevie
        x11-libs/libXprintAppUtil
        x11-libs/libXTrap
        x11-libs/libXvMC
        x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors
	x11-themes/xcursor-themes"

Chances are that if you've been a long xorg 7.0 user:
1). You had to type 'virtual/x11' in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
    to stop Portage from blocking your emerge -uDN world with those annoying
    'blocks' because something was preventing it from downgrading Xorg to
    the old 6.8.2 or 6.99.

2). You somehow ended up with virtual/x11 emerged in your system.

Well, that's it. Portage sees in the ebuild that virtual/x11 is listed as a
dependency, so are all the packages in virtual/x11. As soon as it sees it, it
forgets about gccmakedep and those other dudes and keeps going and ends upu failing.

But even if you had installed Xorg 7.0 by emerging virtual/x11-7.0, notice that
gccmakedep isn't there, imake isn't there, and rman isn't there, so you would've
ended up with the same thing.

I checked virtual/x11-7.0 by doing `emerge -ep =virtual/x11-7.0 | grep
gccmakedep` and got nothing. Same result for xorg-x11-7.0-r1

Well, heh. If there's an error somewhere, I'm sure someone will point it out.
Just sharing, just sharing.
