[ptxdist] xorg-server meson build.

[ptxdist] xorg-server meson build.

[Christian Melki]

I'm having trouble building xorg-server with meson.

Getting various non-constructive errors.
../xorg-server-1.20.10/include/meson.build:175:10: ERROR: 'not-found' is 
not a pkgconfig dependency

../xorg-server-1.20.10/hw/xfree86/meson.build:101:0: ERROR: '' is not a 
static library.

I reverted the "version bump" below and I'm not having any problems with 
the autotools version. Upgraded to 1.2.10 with autotools.

It's probably a bug in the xorg meson rules triggered by an unusual
combination of options. Neither upstream xorg-server nor the package in
ptxdist are well maintained.

Meaning? I should revert the meson variant and try to maintain the
package or "we dropped this, nobody uses xorg anymore?"

The combinations are pretty much the default ones that get selected from
dependencies.

And I like to think that xorg-server is still very much a thing. Atleast
on embedded? :)

Well, I don't use it any more. But I would very much appreciate patches
that keep the package maintained.
I'd start with updating to the latest version. I took a quick look at the
meson files and at least the first issue seems to be fixed with the latest
release.

I assume that you mean the defaults in PTXdist. Those are pretty much
random or just disabled by default.

I think we're living in different filter bubbles :-). I've not used the
xorg server in embedded projects many years.
