Managed to figure it out myself. Had to run the command to install dependencies under building from source on this page. (sudo dnf install gcc xorg-x11-util-macros xorg-x11-server-devel libXext-devel libXi-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel libudev-devel
) as well as installing the following packages: autoconf
automake
libtool
It did not print a build failed message following the installation of those packages.
It did not resolve the issue of my tablet crashing apps, oh also this doesn't just apply to krita or gimp. Every application is frozen when interacting with it via the tablet. The post was about the build failed message tough. It was resolved so closing this one, maybe it will help a lost soul in the future. Cheers
Found out that the issue seemed to be GNOME itself. This issue has never been present again since I had made the switch to KDE plasma. Cannot determine if it's a gnome-wide issue or just gnome on nobara linux which was my OS at the time. Nobara on KDE did not have this issue. Neither did Debian, nor Fedora but i never touched gnome on these distros so cannot compare
As the title states, when trying to build the driver for Xorg, I am faced with the "build failed" issue and told to contact the developers. Currently my wacom tablet is causing graphical software like krita or gimp to crash under Xorg. (The software freezes upon any action being performed with the stylus) Building the drive is one of my attempts of remedying that. Using Nobara with GNOME. A thing to note is that this does not happen under wayland but other applications i use daily (namely vesktop and steam) experience graphical issues not seen with Xorg, hence I'd ideally have krita/gimp not crash on Xorg. This is the exact output of the building command: "./autogen.sh: line 9: autoreconf: command not found Build Failed"
