xorg-drivers requires glide

2009-11-07 Thread Matthew Burgess 
Hi,

Xorg-driver currently doesn't compile, due to the fact that
xf86-video-glide-1.0.3 requires glide.h from the glide package.

That package can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/glide/files/, though I've not
gotten around to compiling it yet.

I'll reply to this thread once I've done that, but this is
just a note (before I forget about it) that we'll need to
either add glide to the book or remove xf86-video-glide-1.0.3
from the wget/md5 files.

Thanks,

Matt.

And it appears to be an unmaintained pile of...

It doesn't compile out of the box, even following their instructions (invoking
aclocal && automake && autoconf), due to files missing from the tarball.

So, I think the best option here is to comment out the glide driver from the
xorg-driver wget & md5 file, and put a note on the Xorg driver page mentioning
that users requiring that driver will need to install Glide first and point them
at the sourceforge page.

If that sounds OK, I'll get a patch together.

Regards,

Matt.
