x.org 7.4 on NetBSD

[bradd-2]

Hi,

Has anyone managed to build this on NetBSD? I downloaded all the
packages and tried to build it from a build-from-tarballs.sh script I
got from freedesktop.org, but after much fiddling I'm now stuck because
the xorg-server-1.5.1 build can't find some package named pciaccess and
I can't seem to find this package anywhere. (Doesn't seem to be in pkgsrc).

Anyone managed to build this?

Thanks,
 Brad

Blair (Hi Blair — I overlooked to answer your kind message. Thanks for
you mail, I'll have a look at the code asap) ported the OpenBSD version
of libpciaccess there:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/bjs/libpciaccess_netbsd.tgz

He asked me to review the code, and maybe improve it. I had no time to
do it until then, so feel free to replace me. If I am not mistaken, I
should have more free time by the end of the month. ;)

Cheers
Vincent

There's another version of this in pkgsrc-wip, with additional patches
from Juan RP. I've been told it works with xorg-server 1.5.1. But it
also needs updated Mesa packages, which aren't available in pkgsrc yet.

Kind Regards,

Are they in wip?

Thanks,

I'm glad that there's interest in getting this working now; I only
wish I had more time.  Attached are preliminary pkgsrc mesa
patches [against the Mesa 7.2 branch] I've prepared.  I haven't tested
them inside pkgsrc yet, and I don't know if the install
target works, but a dri-enabled build with libOSMesa worked
fine--assuming an appropriate build environment, of course.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Oops, forgot the patch.  Also, you can download
Mesa{Lib,GLUT,Demos}-7.2.0.tar.bz2 (the .0 is the pkgsrc patchlevel,
as these tarballs are built from the 7.2 branch and not the release) from:

<ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/bjs/distfiles/>

Please do keep me "in the loop"; I'd like to get this working ASAP so
I can use it during drm development.

Cheers,
