Thanks a lot. You've been a big help. Unfortunately, the problem still exists. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I was using gcc-4.8.1, and I found the error WAY back in the log file: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
/tmp/portage-acc/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.1.901/work/xorg-server-1.14.1.901/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c:566:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'xf86platformVTProbe' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] |
| 20 |
xf86platformVTProbe(); |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The error refers to an "implicit declaration" which only means a lack of some |
| 24 |
declaration or a missing header file declaration. If it were not for -Werror |
| 25 |
this probably should have finished compiling. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
But, I then installed gcc-4.7.3 in a different slot and tried again to compile. |
| 28 |
This also failed but the error seems to be a bit different: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
common/.libs/libcommon.a(xf86Events.o): In function `xf86Wakeup': |
| 31 |
xf86Events.c:(.text+0xf14): undefined reference to `xf86platformVTProbe' |
| 32 |
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status |
| 33 |
make[4]: *** [Xorg] Error 1 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
In this case, the location of the error is the same, in xf86Events.c, but |
| 36 |
now we have an "undefined reference" which occurs, I think, during the linking. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
The problem seems to be a fault of the source code, but then why is it |
| 39 |
failing only on my system? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I do have USE=-kdrive. |
