From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When I rebuild XFree86 by using rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 XFree86-4.2.0-71.src.rpm, it say that is need XCOMM to install XFree86-devel-4.2.0-71. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 XFree86-4.2.0-71-src.rpm 2.rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/XFree86* 3. Actual Results: XCOMM is need by XFree86-devel-4.2.0-71 Expected Results: Xfree86 should be installed Additional info: gcc 2.96-RH
Several things to note... 1) 4.2.0-71 is broken. Don't use it. 4.2.0-72 is the fixed proper release which should be used. 2) The 4.2.0-* packages build perfectly fine on Red Hat Linux 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and rawhide, although older systems need to have some newer dependancies installed from newer releases. Both gcc 2.96 and gcc 3.2 will work. My main development/build server builds X on Red Hat Linux 7.0 with gcc-2.96-93 after which a successful build then gets built in the official Red Hat build system. 3) I have no idea what you're talking about some XCOMM error. Please cut and paste the exact error in the bug report, or I can't begin to guess what the problem is you're experiencing. 4) Note that Red Hat does not support user recompiled software packages, and that includes packages rebuilt with different --target also. That said, I personally try to keep things building and working across the board as best I can. I'll do a test build right now for target=i686 Please provide a lot more detail, exact error output, and if possible try to debug the issue to determine what the problem is. If it is something that is fixable and simple, I don't mind doing so. If it is a random fluke due to you recompiling it with gcc 2.96 on an older system though and I can't reproduce it, then I can't likely do anything about it.
I have gcc-2.96-112, the rest is standard 7.3.

error: failed dependencies: XCOMM is needed by XFree86-devel-4.2.0-71
There's no such thing as XCOMM, so I have no idea what you are reporting. I've asked for a lot of detail and received very little back. I'm able to build XFree86 on every release of Red Hat Linux from 7.0 upward, and I'm also able to rebuild the package targetted for i686 without any problems. Unreproduceable, closing WORKSFORME
