[info] xorg-server-1.7.3.901-r1 fails to configure at Checking for GL ...

[Erick Michau]

Hi,

after a fresh install I pulled xorg-server-1.7.3.901-r1. It failed at configuration time:

===

checking for GL... configure: error: Package requirements (glproto >= 1.4.9 gl

>= 7.1.0) were not met:

no gl package found

===

I tried to set the minimal flag to compile xorg-server and then merged mesa-7.7 but mesa failed (of course).

So I tried to pull mesa-7.6.1 which worked on a minimal xorg-server (this version does not explicitly depends on xorg-server[-minimal] as 7.7 does).

Then I remerged xorg-server-1.7.3.901-r1 which worked and I remerged mesa-7.7 which worked.

All is fine now but I banged my head for an hour.

I had this very problem yesterday. I resolved it by changing ~amd to
amd in my make.conf then emerging mesa. I forgot which one. Then
changing amd to ~amd in make.conf and emerge xorg-server. Hope this
helps

It's unfortunate that something as basic as xorg-server is having a
hard time compiling. In the future, I hope to do more testing of the X
server in Funtoo. For now, we inherit everything from Gentoo.
