Discussion:
XKB - xkbcomp can't find keycode includes (Bug?)

Hi All,
Error: Can't find file "xfree86" for keycodes include
Exiting
Abandoning keycodes file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
(EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap

The question is, does it look for those includes in directory specified with
--with-xkb-path?

I've got xkeyboard-config (ver. 1.5) build with --with-xkb-base set to
/etc/X11/xkb and --with-xkb-path (Xorg-server 1.5.99.902) also set to same
directory. I was trying to use setxkbmap (build with
--with-xkb-config-root=/etc/X11/xkb) but this didn't work. Finally I've managed
to fix (or workaround) that issue by creating symlink /usr/share/X11/xkb ->
/etc/X11/xkb - {datadir}/X11/xkb is mentioned as default for --with-xkb-patch
xorg-server configure option. So does this option work? Maybe it's responsible
for sth different or this is a bug.

I have the same problem, I use xkeyboard-config-1.5, 1.4, 1.2; xserver 1.5.3;
and xkbcomp from git, and I can't solve this problem about one week =(((

can you try build xkeyboard-config with --with-xkb-rules-symlink=xorg

i had the same problem and this works now.

i have build xkeyboard-config with:

XKBCOMP="/usr/bin/xkbcomp" \
./configure --host=$TARGET_NAME \
--build=$HOST_NAME \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-static \
--enable-shared \
--enable-compat-rules \
--with-xkb-base=$XORG_PATH_XKB \
--disable-xkbcomp-symlink \
--with-xkb-rules-symlink=xorg

This is more or less required but didn't helped in my case. I've got
--with-xkb-rules-symlink=xorg,xfree86 and only creating symlink in
/usr/share/X11 helps. So Zitat try to create such link pointing to
same dirctory specified in --with-xkb-base.

check include/xkb-config.h. does it say the right path there?
does config.log show your settings?

--with-xkb-patch or with-xkb-path (just making sure there's no typo)

Cheers,

Hmm.. It's all OK:
/* Path to XKB definitions. */
#define XKB_BASE_DIRECTORY "/etc/X11/xkb"

/* Path to xkbcomp. */
#define XKB_BIN_DIRECTORY "/usr/bin"

/* XKB output dir for compiled keymaps. */
#define XKM_OUTPUT_DIR "/var/lib/xkb/"

No typo here [1].

I can easily reproduce it by removing given link:
$ readlink xkb
/etc/X11/xkb
$ rm xkb
$ setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout pl -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of rules file
Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model
Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from xorg:
model: pc105
layout: pl
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: pc+pl
geometry: pc(pc105)
Error loading new keyboard description

$ echo $?

Any idea how to track down that issue?
