| Summary | 0002914: X11R7 fails to build with a fork bomb. | |||||||||||
| Description |
X11R7 fails to build in a nasty way. The package check is missing (As far as I understand this is check.sourceforge.net) When ./configure in libxcb-1.1 tries to test for this it starts a fork bomb making my development machine (a fedora 8 laptop) grind to a halt. I am using a current buildroot. (svn at 21732) |

Building of RPM shows the same behaviour. The fork bomb involves pkg-config, glib-config and sed at least. |

I forgot to mention that I was trying to build for i686 using, a fairly standard setup with, kernel: 2.6.24, uclibc: 0.9.29, binutils: 2.18.50.0.1, gcc: 4.2.3, busybox: 1.10. |

After meeting similar fork bombs several times I did som further research. The problem seems to be pkg-config. pkg-config have a builtin fallback to gnome-config. Sometimes when pkg-config can't find its gnome-config fallback it forks out of control. Installing the following shell script as staging_dir/usr/bin/gnome-config fixes the problem #! /bin/sh exit 1 |

Bug has been reported upstream to the pkg-config developers. |
