It's called awt_Graphics hence the AWT list. I doubt the distinction between 2d and awt classes is clear to anyone outside Sun. > Attach the patch to a bugzilla report .. someone will > need to generate a sun bug id too. Can you post a zip > of the webvrev somewhere? I'm aware we need a Sun bug ID; that's why I asked for one to be allocated in the e-mail. I have commit rights so I don't need mentoring; I just need a review and a bug ID so I can push the fix. I don't see why you need all this other superfluous stuff, as it wasn't needed for any of my other pushes to various repos. Is the patch ok? If so, could you please allocate it a bug ID. > > And is there an X11 reference you can cite to this apparent > source incompatible change there? > There's http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-June/001242.html but I avoided posting this in the original mail because it seems to have changed again between that commit and the final release, presumably due to compatibility issues (XShm.h is back and it's now shmproto.h as seen in the patch). I've built the repo with this patch here with the old version, and others have built it with the new version; it does work for both. The same patch is already in Gentoo's ebuild and IcedTea, and a similar patch has been used for the Fedora rawhide RPMs for some time. It would be good to get it upstream as well. > -phil. > > Andrew John Hughes wrote: >> >> With the new version of X11 (specifically libXext >= 1.1), the XShm.h >> header has been refactored. >> >> As a result, the build fails on awt_GraphicsEnv.c.
