Description: X11R7 fails to build in a nasty way. The package check is missing (As far as I understand this is check.sourceforge.net) When ./configure in libxcb-1.1 tries to test for this it starts a fork bomb making my development machine (a fedora 8 laptop) grind to a halt. I am using a current buildroot. (svn at 21732) ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KHAksnes - 04-14-08 07:22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Building of RPM shows the same behaviour. The fork bomb involves pkg-config, glib-config and sed at least. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KHAksnes - 04-14-08 07:31 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I forgot to mention that I was trying to build for i686 using, a fairly standard setup with, kernel: 2.6.24, uclibc: 0.9.29, binutils: 2.18.50.0.1, gcc: 4.2.3, busybox: 1.10.
