How to compile Xorg?
« on: February 19, 2010, 01:43:52 PM »
I am trying to compile Xorg but the TC-build script seems to fail on multiple packages with multiple errors including not being able to find certain dependencies. I would like to eventually try to build Xorg-server 1.7.1. Any help or documentation on this? I have searched the wiki and forums heavily and cannot seem to find any good info on it. Thanks!

Is this with the latest TC-build, from the tcz 2.x source? I don't really remember what else I had loaded besides compiletc, could you post the errors?

Also, are you using the tarballs included, or some other versions?
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Curaga,
Yes it is the latest. I have tried to build with the included tarballs. 1 error - in the script its looking for xserver 1.5.1 but 1.6.1 is provided tarball. A big issue is it can't find the XLibs. I will post the errors in a bit. Thanks!

Hmm, I think the last update was an incremental one, only updating the server and drivers.
