Description Paul Eggleton 2012-09-21 13:47:23 UTC

If I try to do a build of any image now with 1.3_M5 on a system without X11 installed (headless server) gdk-pixbuf fails at do_configure with the following error:

...
| checking for sys/systeminfo.h... no
| checking sys/sysinfo.h usability... yes
| checking sys/sysinfo.h presence... yes
| checking for sys/sysinfo.h... yes
| checking for mediaLib 2.3... checking for mlib_ImageSetStruct in -lmlib... no

I might just point out this is a very recent regression...

Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2012-09-24 09:49:25 UTC

Actually, this is when using DISTRO = "poky-lsb" so this is not a regression, but an artifact of enabling X11 support in gdk-pixbuf for the target when building for LSB. Since I have to assume we only actually want this for the target, the linuxstdbase overrides probably need to have a class-target override added.

This has been fixed by Richard in master:
