Improved font path specifiecation for el5 & generic binaries.
Font paths were incompletely specified, resulting in font issues with some applications (nedit, for instance). Also, added support for font catalogues back in, even though el5 doesn't supoort it, this should make font handling more robust for the genric binaries.
(cherry picked from commit 233eea2d45)
Fixed various static linking problems with latest el5 spec.
Some definitions were being overridden in StaticBuild.cmake,
causing checks for various fltk capabilities to fail. Also,
fontconfig was not being configured properly for default font
locations, causing the vncviewer to fail to locate fonts when
used as a generic binary.
(cherry picked from commit 81e4483169)
Project Evergreen stopped supporting 11.4 in October and it's not feasible to
back-port the patches for the Xorg 2014-12-09 CVEs, so as a result we can no
longer provide pre-built packages for this distribution. The genric binaries
can be used instead.
(cherry picked from commit f2079c0e42)
The patches required for the 2014-12-09 Xorg CVE advisory would not
have been feasible to back-port to the 1.7 version of Xorg that we
were previously using to built against for EL5 and the generic
binaries. However, building the newer version of Xorg required
some fairly extensive re-tooling. In a nutshell, here's what was
done:
* The build is now done against Xorg X117R7, with all CVE patches
(taken from debian sources) applied. Note that this requires
updating various packages beyond the versions readily available
for EL5. This included things like automake, autoconf, libtool,
m4, and flex. Wherever possible, the EL6 rpm was used unaltered.
The most chalenging package to upgrade was libxml2, which was
necessary to supply the python26-libxml2 requirement from mesa.
* Mesa libGL is now supplied with the package, installed in the
%{_libdir}/tigervnc directory. The Xvnc binary is linked using
an rpath so that we always link against our version of libGL.
This was done to prevent linker errors with the generic binaries
in the case where the distro supplied libGL is built with
different options (in particular, kernel versions < 2.4.20 do
not support glx-tls, so the generic binaries would likely break
whenever used on newer distros that build libGL with glx-tls
turned on by default). Additionally, this allows swrast_dri.so
to be bundled without worrying about overwriting the distro
supplied library.
* A static libsha1 is built for Xorg to link against. The EL5
version of libgcrypt does not satisfy Xorg's requirements,
and linking against OpenSSL creates nearly a dozen runtime
dependencies.
* Removed the hard coded snap tag, if needed it should be passed in
via "rpmbuild --define 'snap ...'".
* Changed the hard coded version to "@VERSION@" to make it clear
that the copy of the spec file in the repository needs to be
updated manually.
(cherry picked from commit 70c2351d54)
* Fixes for unresolved dependency issues when linking against static fltk
* Major overhaul of static build. Previously, fltk & tigervnc were built
against the dynamic system libraries (and thus not entirely portable).
All of the X11 libraries required for Xvnc are now built first and
everything is linked against them.
Various fixes for linker issues when building fltk statically.
* The native FindX11.cmake module can't be overridden so that
fltk links against the static libraries that we've just built.
* Need to link fltk against libdl.a or else an unresolved
dependency error occurs while linking tigervnc.
* Additional fixes to fix dependency resolution issues when
linking fltk against X11 statically.
Disable input methods when the viewport is focused
Input methods are way too complex for us to map them to the VNC
protocol in any sane manner. Best just to disable them and rely
on simple keyboard behaviour when the viewport is active.
It makes things more self contained (although you still need to
download FLTK itself), avoids the confusion of STR:s in varying
states, and allows us to refer to patches that aren't available
on an STR.
Added 'contrib' folder to store patches necessary to build external dependecies, distribution-specific packaging files, etc. Also added a delimiter to the end of the fltk patch script defined in BUILDING.txt to make it easier to parse this script out for automated builds.
