Unity 6.2.0 - build error (xorg-x11-proto patch ?)

[nmarques]

Hi,

I've taken back the work I've started in 2010 about bringing Unity Desktop to openSUSE and created a new project (since the old has been taken over) under X11:Unity. Currently everything seems to be ok, but I'm getting a build error on Unity:

----- END -----

I'm not sure what is causing this; Is this anyway related to a vendor patch applied by Ubuntu on xorg-x11-proto or the source is related to another issue? Any help on fixing this would be most welcomed as once this is fixed and it builds I can start working on implementation with openSUSE.

I'm available to provide any other information required.

Thanks.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hey nmo-marques,

https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/raring/xorg-server/raring

In this package there is a special patch for ubuntu:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/raring/xorg-server/raring/view/head:/debian/patches/500_pointer_barrier_thresholds.diff

So you'll need that patched for it to work :(.

There are also some changes coming (sometime) that will be removing that patch and support will be added to Xi:
http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/whats-new-in-xi-23-pointer-barrier.html

The branch for unity, for that update.
https://code.launchpad.net/~brandontschaefer/unity/move-pointer-barrier-to-xi-1.6.99.1

Good luck with the work!
