Hi,

I'm trying to compile X11R6-7.0 under Ubuntu maverick and got some weird compilation errors I'm unable to resolve myself.

I needed X11R6-7.0 as ati catalyst drivers don't support newer xorg and oss drivers don't support 3d acceleration of my hardware.

Anyone know what this error message means? I know some C but I got a bit confused. Does it mean GET_FB_DATA macro returned NULL or some method/property not set?

Any further insight how to "debug" preprocessor definitions at this point would be great. I don't think I can print anything useful with #error.

The error I get:

tdfx_span.c: In function ‘tdfxDDWriteDepthPixels’:
tdfx_span.c:976: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
tdfx_span.c:1008: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
tdfx_span.c: In function ‘write_stencil_pixels’:
tdfx_span.c:1242: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

the Code:

958-   switch (depth_size) {
959-   case 16:
960-      GetBackBufferInfo(fxMesa, &backBufferInfo);
961-      /*
962-       * Note that the _LOCK macro adds a curly brace,
963-       * and the UNLOCK macro removes it.
964-       */
965-      WRITE_FB_SPAN_LOCK(fxMesa, info,
966-             GR_BUFFER_AUXBUFFER, GR_LFBWRITEMODE_ANY);
967-      {
968-     LFBParameters ReadParams;
969-     GetFbParams(fxMesa, &info, &backBufferInfo,
970-             &ReadParams, sizeof(GLushort));
971-     for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
972-        if (mask[i] && visible_pixel(fxMesa, x[i], y[i])) {
973-           xpos = x[i] + fxMesa->x_offset;
974-           ypos = bottom - y[i];
975-           d16 = depth[i];
976:           PUT_FB_DATA(&ReadParams, GLushort, xpos, ypos, d16);
977-        }
978-     }
979-      }
980-      WRITE_FB_SPAN_UNLOCK(fxMesa, GR_BUFFER_AUXBUFFER);
981-      break;
982-   case 24:

And relative macros:

    (GET_WRAPPED_FB_DATA(ReadParamsp, type, x, y) = (type)(value))

The LFBParameters Struct

483-typedef struct
484-{
485-   void *lfbPtr;
486-   void *lfbWrapPtr;
487-   FxU32 LFBStrideInElts;
488-   GLint firstWrappedX;
489-}
490:LFBParameters;

Thanks for looking.
