OE buildable on headless hosts?

OE buildable on headless hosts?

[Leon Woestenberg]

Hello,

I have come across a range of problems on non-buildable stuff lately
and I think we are facing host-dependencies again wrt (at least)
GNOME.

How many people are building GNOME/X stuff on non-X hosts (such as
Ubuntu Server)?

Regards,

I am, and found that libx11 has a dependency on host
/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h (it does a very stupid does this file exist
test) but haven't had a chance to fix it yet.

Even with this:

xorg-lib/libx11_1.1.5.bb:            file://keysymdef_include.patch;patch=1"
xorg-lib/libx11_1.1.5.bb:EXTRA_OECONF += "--without-xcb 
--with-keysymdef=${STAGING_INCDIR}/X11/keysymdef.h"

?

Don't recall if that was in when I had that problem.

I meant to add, building things in a very empty chroot is quite helpful
:)

Check xorg-lib/libx11/keysymdef_include.patch for solution. It is used 
in libx11_1.1.5.bb for example.

Both my build machines are headless, but do have some x11 stuff installed.

You are correct and I should have changed the subject.

I have started to fix some issues locally, but run from one problem
into the other, not quite sure if they are all host-deps...

We should indeed try to weed out most dependencies on host system packages.
