tree/branch: poky/denzil
commit: d20a24310eb43fed9a3f3e75752c9ad45a18cbe4

With denzil, I find that xf86-input-synaptics fails to do_configure with non-x86 targets, including qemumips, qemuarm, qemuppc. It reports that "xorg-server development files" is missed. Detailed error log as below:

Comment 1 Laurentiu Palcu 2012-06-11 13:58:01 UTC 
It could be a parallelism issue. I built the latest master and a branch checked out from the commit you mentioned, on all architectures, without any issues. I use:

BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "8"
PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 8"

What settings do you have?
Comment 2 Laurentiu Palcu 2012-06-12 09:33:59 UTC 
I also tested with:

BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "2"
PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 2"

Could not reproduce... Please give more details about how to reproduce it.

My OS is 32bit Ubuntu 10.04. And my system is a 8 processors with 4GB memory installed.
I think it may not be related to parallelism since I use 9 for BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE by default. But with the other number, like 2, the issue could be reproduced also.

Hi Laurentiu,
Do we have an update regarding this? 

Thanks,
Alex.
Comment 5 Laurentiu Palcu 2012-10-01 15:23:54 UTC 
I succeeded to reproduce this using the commit mentioned in the bug report and doing a build for mips:

MACHINE=qemumips bitbake xf86-input-synaptics

However, this does not reproduce on the latest tree. So, closing the issue.
Comment 6 Alexandru Georgescu 2012-10-05 09:45:33 UTC 
Verified.
