I need to compile a driver for a touchscreen and that requires quite some header files including:
misc.h, xf86.h, xf86_ansic.h, xf86_libc.h, xf86_OSproc.h, xf86Xinput.h, xisb.h and exevents.h.
I have installed plenty of packages on my box running SuSE 10 like kdesdk3, kdesdk3-devel xorg-x11-devel and the file is still missing after doing a find on / as root.
Those all look like X11 header files. Try installing the xorg-x11-server-sdk package. The readme file for your touchscreen software will probably say what you require as well.
Go to the http://rpm.pbone.org website. Select advanced search and select your SuSE distro version.
You will get better results using just "X11" as the search term.
I tried the search and the result is:
"
FILE WASN'T FOUND IN ANY RPM FILE. TRYING TO SEARCH THIS FILE ON FTP SERVERS
You have chosen search rpm in world FTP resources.
Your search xorg-x11-server-sdk did not match any entry in database.
If you didn't do it, try add to searched space more distributions and repositories.
"
Ok, I downloaded and installed the package xorg-x11-server-sdk using rpm -ivh xorg-x11-server-7.1.33.src.rpm. When I search my /, there is still no xf86.h or any other files listed in the first post.
You can list the files with the command "rpm -ql <package-name>". The pbone site also lists the contents of the package. It won't end up in the root (/) directory.
