It's not ideal, but making nvidia-driver conflict with its own dependencies is a lot worse. nvidia-driver's dependency on libGL is artificial (cause it needs to replace libGL, not cause it needs to link with it). One can actually build and install the driver without having libGL from ports installed. As such I've tried decoupling this a year or so ago, but aside from some problems in the nvidia-provided Makefiles that I could patch, the major drawback of it was that every port requiring libGL would now have to be taught about nvidia-driver (Yes, bsd.gl.mk but there were a few exceptions). I ran into one major hurdle, but can't for the life of me remember anymore what it was, so decided to back off and live with the current hacks. I could try again and at least see what the problem is, in a week or two at the earliest. What I was aiming for is: - if defined(WITH_NVIDIA_GL) libdep on nvidia-driver else libGL - no more XXX-files and post-install hacks - no more need xorg-server installed before we can even read our Makefile Vague memories surfacing: problem had to do with either compat5x or linux. -- Mel ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
[x11/nvidia-driver] conflicts with linux dri ports
Hi! I've just received a report at emulation@ about x11/nvidia-driver and other linux dri ports to be in conflict. If a linux dri port is installed x11/nvidia-driver seems to replace libGL.so with a link to nvidia library. Not good. Is it right to mark this port and other linux dri ports to be in conflict?

Hi!
Hello there,
I've just received a report at emulation@ about x11/nvidia-driver and
other linux dri ports to be in conflict.
If a linux dri port is installed x11/nvidia-driver seems to replace
libGL.so with a link to nvidia library. Not good. Is it right to
mark this port and other linux dri ports to be in conflict?
Weird, as this is the first report of that kind. Also, per what I see
in graphics/linux_dri{,-devel}, linuxish libGL* files go to usr/X11R6
(under LINUXBASE, I assume), while nvidia-driver installs them under
usr/lib.
I will dig that emulation@ message to take a closer look.
Thanks.

Hm, you are right...
BTW, new linux dri ports:
. graphics/linux-f8-dri;
. graphics/linux-f10-dri;
. graphics/linux-dri74
istall libraries to usr/lib. Seems that those ports should be
added to CONFLICTS.
I will dig that emulation@ message to take a closer look.
Thanks, I'm also interested.

The nvidia-driver port overwrites the libGL installed by the native Xorg. GLX doesn't work if this doesn't happen. Presumably it's doing something similar with the Linux version. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
