Possible problem with xrender

[Vintodrimmer]

Hello again. I'm building from the ineluctable overlay and there seems to be a problem when compiling with "xrender" USE-flag. In other words, when I enable -DWITH_XRENDER, I get the following error while trying to compile.

Can you point me to whether some dependency is missing or something like that, please?

Guys at the overlay say that they have the same problem and don't quite know why.

@jaagr I was able to pin down the issue to these CMake options:

cmake -G Unix Makefiles \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
  -DBUILD_IPC_MSG=ON \
  -DBUILD_TESTS=no \
  -DENABLE_CCACHE=OFF \
  -DENABLE_ALSA=no \
  -DENABLE_CURL=no \
  -DENABLE_I3=no \
  -DENABLE_MPD=no \
  -DENABLE_NETWORK=no \
  -DENABLE_XKEYBOARD=ON \
  -DWITH_XRANDR=ON \
  -DWITH_XRANDR_MONITORS=ON \
  -DWITH_XRENDER=yes \
  -DWITH_XDAMAGE=no \
  -DWITH_XSYNC=no \
  -DWITH_XCOMPOSITE=no \
  -DWITH_XKB=ON \
  -DWITH_XRM=ON \
  -DDEBUG_LOGGER=no \
  -DDEBUG_LOGGER_VERBOSE=no \
  -DDEBUG_HINTS=no \
  -DDEBUG_WHITESPACE=no \
  -DDEBUG_FONTCONFIG=no

which produces the error: ‘render_util’ has not been declared.

When enabling both XRENDER and XCOMPOSITE with -DWITH_XRENDER=yes -DWITH_XCOMPOSITE=yes you got hit by the error: request for member ‘composite’ is ambiguous too.

When enabling XCOMPOSITE without XRENDER with -DWITH_XRENDER=no -DWITH_XCOMPOSITE=yes everything compiles fine.

XRender XDamage XComposite and XSync is currently not used so you can disable them for now. I'll fix the compilation errors.

Closing due to inactivity.
