libinput_drv.so , libinput.so.10.13.0 fail to build for ARM64 FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT source tree, versionsort() function declaration problem

From: Fred Finster <fred_at_thegalacticzoo.com>

Hello Xorg maintainers,  I apologize for throwing so much information 
over the wall to point out a simple issue of broken software for

versionsort()  function, that is an update to file 
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/scandir.c

My inexperience, gets me close to a solution, yet "No Cigar" for the answer.

I tried to learn much on my own and figure out where the fault is, 
before asking you.  I am sure it will be a missing line or a missing 
define somewhere easy to see, with your experience in the Xorg files.

I was using FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT software and pkgs.    "pkg update"  
"pkg upgrade"    At somepoint,  "startx"  would show a desktop 
environment, yet no keyboad or mouse input was received.  SSH 
fred@192.168.1.7 into the raspberry pi 4B and displaying 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log showed a failure of libinput_drv.so

[ 3730.553] (EE) Failed to load 
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/libinput_drv.so: 
/usr/local/lib/libinput.so.10: Undefined symbol "versionsort@FBSD_1.7"

I thought patiently waiting, someone else will find and fix this 
problem, and then a pkg update pkg upgrade sequence will pull in the fix 
and the desktop will work again.
So today,  I searched, grepped, read, tested building 
/usr/ports/x11/libinput  and still have not got a solution except to 
comment out the single line 1062 in quirks.c file. Built and then 
another test file  tools/libinput-record.c is broken.
So at your own pace and time, take a look an update  the ARM64 source 
tree to fix this broken use of  versionsort() function.

Thank you,

Fred Finster

HERE I POSTED all the information I could find to fix my own problem.  
Alas, I am not experienced enough to solve this 'versionsort' missing 
error on my blog post here below.
https://ghostbsd-arm64.blogspot.com/2022/11/libinput-module-error-fbsd17-not-found.html

I can see 'versionsort' defined in with file 
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/scandir.c   and  /usr/src/include/dirent.h

is ___BSD_VISIBLE defined??





libinput.so.10.13.0 is broken,  from updating software portsnap fetch 
update;  Then building /usr/ports/x11/libinput and having an issue with 
versionsort() function being defined
Is that a broken "for ARM64 source code tree" with #define __BSD_VISIBLE 
1 and #define __POSIX_VISIBLE 200809


Okay,  I do see below, that I mixed grep source with my GhostBSD 
fredTC93-pc x86_64 and my Raspberry Pi 4B Fred_RasPi4B ARM64:

WHY in file /usr/src/include/dirent.h  is there not a matching 
declaration line for versionsort()  ?
I see that updated software November 13, 2022 has versionsort() declared 
at line /usr/src/include/dirent.h:111:int

fred@fredTC93-pc /u/src> grep -in sort ./include/dirent.h ./sys/sys/dirent.
./include/dirent.h:107:intalphasort(const struct dirent **, const struct 
dirent **);

root@Fred_RasPi4B:/usr/src/include # grep -in sort 
/usr/src/include/dirent.h /usr/src/sys/sys/dirent.h
/usr/src/include/dirent.h:107:int     alphasort(const struct dirent **, 
const struct dirent **);
/usr/src/include/dirent.h:111:int     versionsort(const struct dirent 
**, const struct dirent **);


fred@fredTC93-pc /u/src> cd /usr/ports/x11
