[Openembedded-users] Workaround to compile Driver xorg-video-displaylink

[Marek Penno]

Hello,

I was not able with the actual openembedded release to compile the 
xorg-video-displaylink driver.
The problem is, that some xorg include files are needed by the driver, 
but the actual xorg-server 1.7.4 does not provide them anymore. I used 
the patch
    
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/x11.git;a=blob;f=x11-drivers/xf86-video-displaylink/files/xf86-video-displaylink-0.3-xorg-abi-fix.patch;h=df8e1db5cdcf0cceca7c6a303e8e44ac2ca506fe;hb=HEAD

to work around that problem.

For integration into openembedded, I created a new directory: 
openembedded/recipes/xorg-driver/xf86-video-displaylink
and copied the patch into
than i modified xf86-video-displaylink_0.3.bb:

require xorg-driver-video.inc

DESCRIPTION = "X.Org X server -- displaylink driver"

RRECOMMENDS_${PN} = "kernel-module-udlfb"

SRC_URI = 
"http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/udlfb-0.2.3_and_xf86-video-displaylink-${PV}.tar.gz"
SRC_URI += " 
file://x11-drivers_xf86-video-displaylink_files_xf86-video-displaylink-0.3-xorg-abi-fix.patch;patch=1"

S = "${WORKDIR}/${PN}"

An i can compile.

Cheers, Marek
