Otherwise, for example, when hacking config/*.c, it is required to
run make clean on that directory, to ensure the proper libconfig.a
will be linked in the generated Xorg binary.
All .a libraries were converted to .la, and instead of linking the
Xorg binary with a mix of .a and .la, and adding some libraries more
then once in the command line, etc, now it generates a single libxorg.la
from all the required convenience libraries, and links with a dummy
xorg.c (that should usually be the file with the main function...).
This removes the requirement of some things like libosandcommon and
libinit, that existed to circumvent problems when linking multiple
.a and .la in the final Xorg binary.
The "symbol table" is now generated dynamically, by a shell script,
with an embedded gawk parser that parses cpp output. The new file
sdksyms.sh is generated by hand by analyzing all Makefile.am's and
making it create a sdksyms.c file, that includes all sdk headers that
will add symbols for the Xorg binary. Module headers aren't read, and
a in 2 files it was required to add a "<hash>ifndef XorgLoader" around
declarations shared between the Xorg binary and libextmod. A few
other changes were added to other sdk headers, like preventing
multiple inclusion, or including other headers to satisfy dependencies.
This should be a lot more portable, and better (hopefully properly)
using libtool to generate convenience libraries.
One of these I introduced by listing dix and mi in the same library list to
simplify other servers. The other had been hacked around using libosandcommon,
which is now gone.
This cleans up server Makefile.ams a little bit, but also means that people
messing with configure.ac need to be careful with whether they put libraries
in the _LIBS or _SYS_LIBS targets. Hopefully the comment in configure.ac will
clarify the issues.
This moves most of the cursor management code out of the intel driver and
into the general server code. Of course, the hope is that this code will be
useful for other driver writers as well.
Check out xf86Crtc.h for the usage information, making sure you add the
needed hooks to the crtc funcs structure for your driver.
(cherry picked from commit 4d81c99a46)
This code comes from the intel driver, so there's no history in this tree.
As the crtc/output-based mode selection code uses ddc, the ddc and i2c
modules have been merged into the server. Attempts to load them are safely
ignored now.
Get rid of almost all uses of these definitions. They're still defined for
delinquent out-of-tree drivers, and also for the Mesa build. As well as
for miinitext.c. But largely gone.
lists, a really bad hash table, the last vestiges of the other backends,
and some miscellaneous cleanups. Good for dropping 300k from the size of
the built server on x86.
(such as libcw.la) that we link into the server, causing it to be rebuild
automatically when they're updated. Some system libraries are included, but
don't appear to cause any harm. You would think this would be automatic...
