Dear Xorg-Devel List,
I am trying to build the Xorg server.
I am using the instructions available here :
https://wiki.x.org/wiki/Building_the_X_Window_System/
and chose the option "Build Process Based on build.sh Script".
I type the following command :
jdh@thinkpad:~/X$ ./util/modular/build.sh --clone ~/X_Build
The process appears to be going on well until the following message
appear :
======================================================================
== Processing: "lib/libxcvt"
== configuration options:
Cloning into 'lib/libxcvt'...
fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported:
/git/xorg/lib/libxcvt
Failed to clone lib/libxcvt. Ignoring.
./util/modular/build.sh: 691: --prefix=/home/jdh/X_Build: not found
build.sh: "lib" failed on libxcvt
build.sh: error processing: "libxcvt"
A quick look to the build.sh sources let me think that the script is
looking to the next place
http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/
For a "libxcvt" folder but fails to do it.
How to the Xorg team build the server ? Am I using the right
instructions ?
If so, could you please help me solving this issue ?
libxcvt isn't available via anongit, you have to fetch it from gitlab.
I had to add an override for my repo manifest for that:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/xorg-manifest/commit/?id=d5e6e78399b96b80adf89b5f4da0d840c73c2e86
I think build.sh is going to need something similar to override $GITROOT
based on which project it's fetching.
