Please file a bug in xorg bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg"
component, indicating that X11R7 RC2 did not come with gccmakedep.  Once it
is autotooled and packaged upstream, I'll add it to a future imake package
build.

Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2005-11-18 17:13:41 UTC

It may just be a misconfiguration -- the package includes "makedepend" which
performs more or less the same function.

Comment 3 Karsten Hopp 2005-11-21 09:47:47 UTC

re comment #2: if the wrapper gccmakedep is gone on purpose, then the Imake.tmpl
file should be changed

It was an unintentional omission by X.Org upstream.  All development
takes place in the monolithic source tree still.  The modular cvs contains
only the autotooling build files, and some scripts.  The scripts create
symbolic links from a checkout of the monolithic tree into a special
directory layout, which is used to build the modular tree.  This was
created both by automation, and hand tweaked, however it is still not
100% perfect.  There are about 4 things missing still in modular X that
are present in monolith.

These will be present in X11R7, they're just not available in modular
form yet.  Recommendation for now, is to try "makedepend" and see if it
suffices if you need to build something badly.  Or wait until after
RC3 is out, which should probably have gccmakedep.

gccmakedep was added to upstream X11R7 RC4 release, and is present in our
imake 1.0.0 package for about a week..  closing as RAWHIDE
