Romain, All,

On 2015-10-24 23:00 +0200, Romain Naour spake thusly:
> Add an option to enable X11 support in libecore without graphic
> acceleration. libecore can use xlib or xcb support but the latter
> in not recommended by efl developpers.
> 
> Also, set x-includes and x-libraries configure option for cross-compiling.
> Previous efl versions had cross-compilation issue (poisoned paths)
> if these options are not passed to configure script.
> 
> In order to remove the dependency on libXp wich is no longer bundled in
> recent X11 release [1], backport an upstream patch [2] to remove xprint
> usage.

Make that a single choice:

    choice
        bool "X11 support"

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEFL_X_NONE
        bool "none"

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEFL_X_XLIB
        bool "xlib"

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEFL_X_XCB
        bool "xcb"

    endchoice # X11 support

Of course, with the appropriate depends/selects and comment.

This comment might become misleading in the future, in case it we no
longer patch configure.ac. What about:

    # Regenerate the autotools:
    #  - to fix an issue in eldbus-codegen: https://phab.enlightenment.org/T2718
    #  - to remove dependency on libXp: https://phab.enlightenment.org/D3150

Now we've got --enable-lua-old twice. ;-)

xlib_libx11 already a dependency, above.

Ditto.

Why this big comment? At best, it belongs to the help text of
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEFL_X_XCB in the Config.in.

Also, I guess you're only quoting the EFL developers here, so you should
state so and add a pointer to that message upstream:

    https://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git/tree/configure.ac#n5002

But if it were purely on me, I would just drop it.

Yann E. MORIN.
