Brian asked me to present this as a bug report: Just tried to compile 4.6.1, and I hit a problem: undefined reference _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent This reference doesn't seem to be exported from libXi till a recent version, and the configure file doesn't check on it. Maybe add a check? I found the solution here: http://www.archivum.info/kde-bugs-dist@kde.org/2009-03/msg07117.html I tried to install on a Slackware 12.0 system, but needed libXi and inputproto (neede for the new libXi) from 12.2 to get through compilation.
Created attachment 2371 Test for input proto 1.5 Does this work for you?
Hello Nick. I can't really test the problem situation anymore, as I already installed the newer version of libXi and inputproto. I reported this problem, because Brian considered: === Quote: Hmm, that sucks: libXi 1.2.0 was just released this past December. I wonder if we can get enough functionality out of previous versions to make the current control panel work... === http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfce/2009-May/025337.html
Right now it's only used for device hotplugging. The rest of the code works without any problems when compiled with an older version of xi.
