Bug 137482 – [GTK] jhbuild modules should build xserver with the --without-dtrace option

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

If the --without-dtrace is not used, compilation of xserver is currently broken on Fedora 20.

Hm, it's broken for me too. The error message is:

  GEN      dtrace-dix.o
/usr/bin/dtrace:/tmp/tmpH1C5vv.d:34 syntax error near:
typedef unsigned short int __u_short;

Since we don't explicitly enable or disable dtrace, it's enabled only if you have /sbin/dtrace and /usr/include/sys/sdt.h. (On Fedora those are provided by the package systemtap-sdt-devel.)

Is there a missing package that can fix the issue as well? I think we should weigh the two options.

The related redhat bug is : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1131586

There are different possible fixes.
The simplest solution is probably to disable dtrace but I am fine with other local temp fixes.
