XGL / Mesa 060606a emerge problem

Hi ! I'm trying to install xgl following gentoo's HOWTO and I'm having troubles
emerging mesa with r200_state_init.c file :
==============================================================
[ebuild N ] media-libs/mesa-6.5.1_alpha20060606 (-3dnow) -debug (-mmx)

This is the end of error log:

I've "googled" this error and found that it may come from libdrm.
I was not using the latest, so I've changed package.keywords and now
my current libdrm is "x11-libs/libdrm-2.1_alpha20060406" (which is now the
latest). But I'm still having the same error...

Extra note : I'm running this on a Pegasos PPC computer with a RADEON 9250.
I've tried bugzilla but had this answer :
"We don't care about XGL, it's not in portage. There's also no official Gentoo
howto on this, Gentoo Wiki is not maintained by Gentoo." ... so I guess this is the right place ?

Could you post the output of:
pkg-config --cflags xorg-server
Thanks,
Roland

Holy crap! I have the exact same problem on the same computer with a Radeon 9000.

Don't really remember how I fixed that, but try:
emerge libdrm
Think I had then added -I/usr/include/drm to CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf

AaronPPC · Guru Joined: 29 May 2005 Posts: 522 Location: Tucson, AZ

I did both and the compile failed in the same spot.

I'm receptive to any other ideas, otherwise, I'll just wait for the next alpha of mesa.

Track this down now, this will not disappear with newer Mesa, ...

The define we have to look for is RADEON_CMD_VECLINEAR
Is this in /usr/include/drm/radeon_drm.h ?
No=> We have to get a newer version of libdrm
q&d trick:
cd /usr/local/overlays/xgl-coffee/x11-libs/libdrm/
cp libdrm-2.1_alpha20060406.ebuild libdrm-2.1_alpha20060610.ebuild
ebuild libdrm-2.1_alpha20060610.ebuild digest
emerge libdrm

Now we should have a RADEON_CMD_VECLINEAR in /usr/include/drm/radeon_drm.h

I am having the EXACT same issue. I tried your fix, but this did not help the problem. Any other ideas?

Just to provide some more information, here is the exact error I am getting:

I apologize, it did work. You simply either need to unmask that version before you merge, or run the command like this:

Hi !

Thanks for the tip !
Unfortunately it's to late for me !
As I couldn't make it work, I finally emerged another mesa version (6.5r3) but had several other problems (I had to add many many masked packages 20 or 30 or even more ?...). As my portage.keywords was getting very big, I finally stopped thinking that would lead to an unusable system...

So I'm finally going back to a version without xgl to have a stable Gentoo again (atm I can't log in, and X is broken :-(

)...
So I will try xgl on Gentoo again later...

But before, I would like to know :
- if you installing xgl on a fresh (or almost fresh) Gentoo's install ? (Mine is a new install)
- if you are following the "HOWTO" tutorial available on Gentoo's wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL) ? (I do)
- if you are all on x86 architecture ? (I'm running this on PegasosII/PPC)
- and which kernel do you use ? (I'm using 2.6.15.r1 atm). Some package like splashutils are only emerging with 2.6.16 kernel.

That might help for other future problems...
By the way I saw that there was a bug opened in bugzilla about making xgl a portage ebuild. Are there fresh news about it somewhere ?

OK, I looked at the ebuild and I see the point of Test-tools solution now.

The solution worked, I just successfully installed mesa.

@AAronPPC : and does xgl works ?

AaronPPC · Guru Joined: 29 May 2005 Posts: 522 Location: Tucson, AZ

I got it to work once in window mode. Now, I can only get it about half-working. I can't get the window decorations to display. I think the solution is here, so I'm ready to give it another shot.

OK...
I guess I must clean my system before trying all this again... It is really in bad state now :/
Did follow the official XGL Howto ?
And did you have to unmask many many packages too ?

AaronPPC · Guru Joined: 29 May 2005 Posts: 522 Location: Tucson, AZ

Yes, I followed the Howto.

I had to unmask some, but I run the ~ppc profile so I probably didn't unmask as many as you.

Which version of mesa are you trying to install? alpha20060606 or alpha20060614?

alpha20060614

AaronPPC · Guru Joined: 29 May 2005 Posts: 522 Location: Tucson, AZ

And you installed libdrm-2.1_alpha20060614?

If so, see what happens when you revdep-rebuild. You can also:
