Bug #: 45473 Summary: vdpau-r300 requires softpipe Classification: Unclassified Product: Mesa Version: git Platform: x86 (IA32) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/Gallium/r300 AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: neotheuser@ymail.com

When compiling vdpau-r300 (libvdpau_r300.so) I get a compiling error:

No rule to make target `../../../../src/gallium/drivers/softpipe/libsoftpipe.a', needed by `../../../../lib/gallium/libvdpau_r300.so'. Stop.

The solution:

Instead of ./autogen.sh --with-dri-drivers="" --with-gallium-drivers=r300 --enable-vdpau

add swrast to gallium driver

./autogen.sh --with-dri-drivers="" --with-gallium-drivers=r300,swrast --enable-vdpau

Compiles fine now and without error.

Should gallium targets for real hardware use softpipe code / is it necessary? If so, maybe move the necessary code from softpipe into a common directory which other gallium targets can easily find, without having to build a whole new gallium driver such as softpipe to satisfy dependencies.
