[SOLVED] Can't compile linuxwacom on 64 -current

em21701 · 03-14-2010, 07:43 PM

The slackbuild for linuxwacom is failing to build 0.8.4-4 and 0.8.5-11. I have tried with Kernels 2.6.33 and 2.6.29.6, both custom. I am running Slackware64 -current with Alien Bobs KDE 4.4.1 packages

The meat of the problem:

Code:

I don't use Slackware, so I can't tell you what commands to use. Follow the instructions in the ORIGINAL post as exactly as you can per you distribution. BEFORE you begin though, I'd recommend you install a package that is named F2C that ALSO installs another package that is called "F77" or "G77". Searching for those may or may not get you what you need. It is a prerequisite. You also need build-essentials, gcc, to be able to make/make install... etc.

I don't know how savvy a Linux user you are, but try installing build-essentials, F2C before you follow the instructions.

Try searching the above thread for any posts relating to 64 bit installation as well.

Good Luck

The problem was that I needed xf86-input-wacom for my newer version of Xorg. I had forgotten this post or I would have posted a solution.

Excellent!! In the future, I would highly recommend you follow the very first post in the thread I linked. They OP of that thread constantly updates that post with the latest build information.

Hello, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem on F12, but I didn't understand how you have solved!
I also have a very new Xorg installation but I don't understand what I have to do with "xf86-input-wacom".
Please, can you be so kind to give more details on the solution?
Thanks

All I did was build and install xf86-input-wacom from the linux wacom site and all was suddenly well. The old linux wacom does not work on the newer X servers.

Um, xf86-input-wacom is included in -current now (it will be part of 13.1).

I noticed during the last update

thanks!
