xserver-xorg-video-intel package

Need help with compilation errors

Asked by Dirk H

I am trying to compile this module with tearfree enabled by default. I have a setup that gets a black screen if I use the option in 20_intel.. on my nvidia prime setup (that bug is already reported I believe)

I am on 20.04 and I have installed all the listed packages to build (and one other not listed but required for meson) for Focal and pulled the latest commit that matches 2:2.99.917+git20200226-1 (7e2c0dfc). Here is what I am getting

And here is the compilation error I am getting with Ninja:

If you resolve the warning does it help?

WARNING: Project specifies a minimum meson_version '>0.40.0' but uses features

Why are you compiling this?

Dirk H (somename+) said : 		#2

I explained a bit in the first paragraph of why I want to compile it. Alternatively, I need to set my xorg options dynamically depending on which configuration I used at bootup; The Intel driver options work in one configuration but not the other. Is there some reason I shouldn't compile this module?

I am not sure how I am to resolve these warnings. My version is 0.53.2 so I'm not really sure why it is complaining about my version number.

A web search shows that XvGetPortAttribute is in Xvlib.so which is in Ubuntu's fp-units-base-3.0.4 package (Free Pascal - base units package).
Does installing the package fp-units-base help?

No that package did not work.

"No that package did not work." - did not work in which sense?

Was the package already installed?
or
Did an attempt to install the package fail with an error?
or
Did a compile attempt fail with the same error as before?

Did you re-run ./configure after installation and before re-trying the compilation?

I installed all the packages listed in the sources page and it doesn't compile.

With which error message?

Sorry I misread the question here:

 No it installed fine.

How are you starting the compile process? With the Debian Package Management commands (like debuild, dpkg-buildpackage or debian/build) or something else?

Dirk H (somename+) said : 		#10

I was using meson with ninja files included in the git repository as mentioned in the op post. But I just tried to clean the directory and use dpkg-buildpackage and it was able to compile successfully. Thank you. I am not sure why they put in meson if it will not build.
