configure xserver warning - unrecognized options: --with-fontdir, --with-dri-driver-path

I'm trying to build tigervnc under ubuntu 11.10 32bit. http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc/trunk/BUILDING.txt?revision=4879&view=markup

In the configure step I'm getting a warning:

configure:
WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-fontdir, --with-dri-driver-path

In the make step I'm getting an error:

In file included from glxdriswrast.c:39:0:
/usr/include/GL/internal/dri_interface.h:51:17: fatal error: drm.h: No such file or directory

How can I fix the warning and error?

This is what I'm trying to do following BUILDING.txt:

sudo apt-get install cmake

download tigervnc source to /home/tigervnc-1.2.0
download xserver-xorg-dev source to /home/xorg-server-1.10.4
apt-get source xserver-xorg-dev
mkdir build
cd build

mkdir unix
cp -R ../tigervnc-1.2.0/unix/xserver unix/

cp -R ../xorg-server-1.10.4/* unix/xserver/

cd unix/xserver
patch -p1 < ../../../tigervnc-1.2.0/unix/xserver110.patch
sudo apt-get install xutils-dev libtool
autoreconf -fiv

Solution

  • Install the development version of libdrm: sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev.

    Note that some distros (Mandriva, Fedora, maybe others) already have tigervnc packaged. You can look at their package specs to see how this is done. Tigervnc is not a simple software to build, you might face many other problems... And I'm not sure stackoverflow.com is the right place to ask these questions.

    Mandriva spec file: http://svn.mandriva.com/viewvc/packages/cooker/tigervnc/current/SPECS/tigervnc.spec?view=markup
