sewn, can you test if this builds fine for you without autotools? im onto something on building tinyx without autotools http://0x0.st/Hobk.tar.gz
<sad_plan>
neccessary libs is in kiss-xorg
<sad_plan>
I added it in the PR over at kiss-xorg aswell, if you havent noticed already
<sewn>
why the hell are you building without autotools
<sewn>
its a package that will be installed and can just be removed after compiling
<sewn>
theres no harm
<sad_plan>
less packages to build initially. like perl.
<sewn>
but its harmless and automatic can can be removed
<sad_plan>
if you dont need autotools, that 4 less packages needed to build tinyx
<sad_plan>
I know, but what if I dont want perl on my system? or autotools for that matter
<sewn>
i said they can be removed
<sewn>
also, xclip depends on autoconf as well
<sad_plan>
obviously, but this isnt why id asked you to check if it builds. I already know youre critical against this
<sewn>
it builds
<sad_plan>
I know, so do xsel, which I use
<sewn>
bruh
<sad_plan>
thank you
<sewn>
if xsel depends on autoconf, which you use, how come you allow it to use autoconf
<sewn>
its easy to be removed after intsallation
<sad_plan>
I initially dont
<sad_plan>
both xclip and xsel depends on it. I just havent gotten around removing it yet
<sad_plan>
also, I dont use xsel that often
<sad_plan>
very rearly now that I think about it
<sewn>
omg bleh
<sad_plan>
anyway, thanks for checking if it builds
<sewn>
im with you but im not with how complex it is to maintain a non autoconf tinyx
<sewn>
its gonna be horrible to maintain, but you said you're fine with it so
<sad_plan>
tinyx recieves very little changes over time, so I dont think this is an issue at all tbh
<sewn>
ahhhhhhhh
<sad_plan>
it has 38 commits to begin with. and last commit was nov 7, last year, and the one before that, was jan 23 2021. so.. not much work tbh :p

sewn: autotools restricts you to GNU m4
<midfavila>
removing autotools removes GNU m4
<sewn>
i have gnu m4 on my system
<sewn>
without autoconf or automake
<midfavila>
as an implicit dependency
<midfavila>
i figured that much was obvious
<sewn>
what
<midfavila>
if you use any packages that rely on autotools, you need gnu m4 and gnu make
<midfavila>
by not doing that, you don't
<sewn>
oh ok
<sewn>
well kiss uses gnu make so
<midfavila>
kiss' rootfs also uses gcc, what's your point?
<sewn>
woah chill
<midfavila>
i don't think i will
<midfavila>
i just woke up and don't have patience for this shit

hm now I got curious if I could build tinyx without gmake to begin with. or the whole stack for that matter. both pdpmake and bmake has been used or mentioned earlier several times.
