xrender 0.9.4 doesn't find X11 (x11.pc) on Tiger

[garribald@…]

The new xrender version gives following error on my OS X 10.4.11 and Apple's X11 installed:

There is no x11.pc anywhere on my disk, one tip was to install xorg to (hopefully) solve the issue.

But maybe there can something different done (maybe new xrender would work well, but just needs a "nicer to Tiger" X11-check within configuration).

So this is more a request for advice than a bugreport. But if there is basically nothing to be done it might be wise to make a Tiger check and point to installing xorg (if it is the solution) or whatever seems to be appropriate.

If needed, i can test the xorg way on Monday.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I just ran into this too. This is a bug. xrender needs to be made to continue to work with Tiger without requiring installing e.g. xorg.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Cc Me!

[north@…]

Seeing the same thing here. Tiger, xtools 2.5, G4800.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

I attempted to fix the problem in r42732, but I have no Tiger machine to test the change.
The X_CFLAGS/Cflags and X_LIBS/Libs values are based on the values on my machine from the 0.9.0 version of xrender.
I do not know if they are correct for everyone.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Now I get this, on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel:

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

The same failure occurs on Mac OS X 10.3.9 PowerPC.

There is no file Xregion.h anywhere on these systems.

[blb@…]

Xregion.h appears to be part of the xorg-libX11 port, so it sounds as if there may be little choice but to use xorg for <=10.4 unless we either undo xrender's version or create a new xrender090 port or something to that effect.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I don't care too much what other dependencies have to be pulled in to make it work, so long as it doesn't mean I have to switch from Apple's /Applications/Utilities/X11.app to something else.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Ugg... X11 is so ugly. =/

Sorry for this breakage, I think adding a hard port:xorg-libX11 might be what we have to do then. Can someone with Tiger please try pulling in xrender after installing xorg-libX11?

Thanks

[north@…]

Jeremy: xrender build works after installing xorg-libX11 on Tiger <latest> with developer tools 2.5; it sure pulls in a boatload of cruft though! If I can trace something more specific, please let me know.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

One possible (really ugly) short term solution is to copy Xregion.h from ${filespath} to ${worksrcpath}.
Xregion.h seems to be all structs and macros.

A better long term solution might be to change xrender dependency from port:... to lib:...
I brought this up in #17453.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Does r42787 invalidate the need for the "platform macosx" added in r42732?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to north@…:

Works for me too now, on 10.4.11 Intel. Xregion.h is provided by xorg-libX11, so I can't think of any other dependency we could use instead.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to mcalhoun@…:

Apparently not; if I remove the "platform macosx" section, it fails with:

checking for X... configure: error: Package requirements (x11) were not met:

Package xdmcp was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xdmcp.pc'

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables X_CFLAGS
and X_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

[garribald@…]

just to add it, also for me new xrender does compile fine now after having install xorg-libX11. All but one X11-apps have "survived" that addition, but gimp2 (2.6.2) crashes now while starting. But i haven't had it in used often the past weeks, so it could have been another upgrade of the needed components and i just haven't noticed so far. I'll do a rebuild, maybe just something like the recent libcap<->wireshark thing.

And in any case, thanks again for all the help and the ongoing development/discussion regrading how to keep the X11 in shape for Tiger :)

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Thanks. I'm going to mark this closed now since I pushed the dependency. I'll pull in gimp and give it a try to make sure it wasn't my fault.

Do you happen to have a stack trace of the point where it crashed?

I am keeping the full crash.log, so if there is need for it, please simply ask. Thanks again!

PS: The gimp install is rather boring one, no variants, just simple plain gimp. No dbus running. As said, don't really use it that often nowadays. But time will come again, i'll need it.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

I, too, am having trouble with gimp (and every other gtk X11 app I've tried so far) after successfully upgrading from xrender @0.9.0_3 to xrender @0.9.4_1+darwin_8+macosx on Tiger. Gimp doesn't crash as such but exits on startup (no screen activity) with this message:

devans% gimp
XIO:  fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server ":0.0"
      after 74 requests (73 known processed) with 16 events remaining.

I don't think this has anything to do with gimp as such as I get exactly the same message with the other apps as well, for instance

devans% gconf-editor
XIO:  fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server ":0.0"
      after 74 requests (73 known processed) with 16 events remaining.

reverting to xrender @0.9.0_3 solves the problem and all apps run happily.

Configuration is 10.4.11 ppc, Apple X11.app (which advertises X11 1.1.3, XFree86 4.4.0), XCode 2.5, all MacPorts up-to-date, gimp is 2.6.3.

[garribald@…]

indeed, after doing all the updates of xorg components, i am getting the Bad file descriptor error as well (instead of the gimp crash described in the above post of mine). Still having the same gimp (2.6.2). I am not sure, if the xrender-downgrade would work in my case, i have already rebuild gtk2 with the new xorg additions...

Right now i have some cpu heavy tasks to do for my work and maybe it's worth the wait another xorg-fiddling day (and again many thanks for all the efforts) till i will do everything fresh. With all the newly added and also removed deps i have a rather full and probably slightly confused X11/xorg installation here ;) Maybe best for the sake of locating issue, to start totally fresh - in a day.

[garribald@…]

to update it: After cleaning up the X11/xorg related ports and doing all from the start it simply ends in the already mentioned problem:
fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server ":0.0"
for gimp2 (2.6.3) and i tried as well a few other gtk2 dependent apps all give basically the same error.
Compiling itself has been flawless.
Cannot be of much more help other than reporting the problem. For now i will probably go the xrender090 path, but if there are new ideas/fixes/workarounds i will be glad to test them. :)

[ovidiu.horatiu@…]

Long way solution: For first see if you have some outdated ports (for x11 in this situation; i'v tried to remember them down, hope remembered all) $port outdated Manually update x11 dependencies $sudo port -v selfupdate freetype, glib2, jpeg, libxml2, pcre

Short way solution: $sudo port sync; port -v upgrade outdated

Good luck! (i'm looking for a english teacher :))

[ovidiu.horatiu@…]

xrender @0.9.4_1+darwin_8+macosx (active)

$sudo port -f uninstall render; sudo port deactivate xrender

After compiling (i have an old machine), uninstalling or deactivating render (it's obsolete anyway, xorg-renderproto replace it) and xrender... in my case of study- everything works fine, for the moment.

Replying to ovidiu.horatiu@…:

$sudo port -f uninstall render; sudo port deactivate xrender

After compiling (i have an old machine), uninstalling or deactivating render (it's obsolete anyway, xorg-renderproto replace it) and xrender... in my case of study- everything works fine, for the moment.

So apps like gimp work fine after deactivating xrender? You are not getting by any chance an error like

Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libXrender.1.dylib

or similar? Probably i have misunderstood you regarding when to deactivate what. Regarding uninstall/deactivate render - really not needed IMHO, since the current port only installs a placebo anyway (the readme.txt).

Aside from that and as said, i started X11 & related from the start with the second xrender094 install. Anyway, after another fresh install of the relevant components and with xrender090 (active, of course), indeed gimp 2.6.3 starts and works again.
