That's why XFree86 compiles so well and easily X and all the goodies. ok, but if you install (see above) after make, then nothing after needs a top level make. however. X.org pulled many things out of the build tree and hakced it wrong: right for them: but they have a full developer system set up they likely don't know how damaged these releases they made available for plain download are. bad news about this new X that's a pain is run ./configure on every pkg is time and heat (also work-arounds, since they use git and apparently never tried their tarball release). no top level build. pain to get X apps you need to even start X, much of it done above. good news with xorg's new "system" is potential: it makes pkgs that don't come with X allot more probable to compile and install even if your /usr/src/X11R7.6 is not present. HOWEVER that's just potential: i disagree that removing pkgs that are small and worked from XFree86 had any purpose but obstructing the build of Xorg - and note that if they are need to remove a few small apps for some purpose: deletion is allot easier than making the rest of us scrape around with finding essentials and fixing new pkgs that they separated and release as broken. ie, removing xkb, pixman, xdm, twm, xterm, xlsfonts - things really needed to start X and a pain to be all as separate pkgs when they were already in X build tree and worked: just senseless. possibly extra fonts ok. but essentials: not ok. at X11R6.9 they stopped using imake, thus xorg-cf-files...tar.gz, which (some?) had released "ready templates for bulding X11 for some targe" is no longer any good. i've been noticing they "added autoconf" but when doing so deleted the original authors flags while never adding configure.ac code which adds them back. also i see with git(1) or other tools "PGP owners" tend to have keyringed: they have "special flag sets for special builds". if you can them good. if not use the patches :0 ERRATA # glu glw demos are in 7.8.2 and confict / cause these to fail if you # already had them sourced and building ... # #ftp> mget /pub/mesa/glu/* #ftp> mget /pub/mesa/glw/* #ftp> mget /pub/mesa/demos/* # these also fail to build after Mesa-7.8.2 builds ... # glew.linux-1.5.1.1 # glewinfo.1.5.1.1 # visualinfo-1.5.1.1 # i got freeglut off of sourceforge.net, debian uses it, i haven't tried it # assuming i post this w/no way to post hack.X11R7.6.tar.gz just do this: ############################# sdksyms.sh , XV , and building Xorg (X) first let me warn: XV is on by default in xorg build, but off by default in xf86-video-xxx build (on by default in XFree86 %99 same drv) when one tries to turn off XV using configure it won't, but turned on it doesn't work: broken both ways. also while video drivers are "separate" and where they would go if in build tree is "a secret" there's NO OPTION fro XV it must be from environment. meaning they "separated from build" but didn't actually: they are using middle ware. and i've seen ALLOT of changelog entries some adding mandatory XV others moving it aside with complaint. (in XFree86 - it works no effort) i was told when i asked by someone (logged in as) an important name "it's insecure, don't use it" so i tried building without, finally did, only to find my video driver had FB code (removed i think) from newer version in older XFree86 and replace with other. finally: i think the answer is: you want XV if a video driver writer takes great effort to support and use it in the Video code (ie, movies) XV does work, problem was 0) ./configure.am had XV hacked out and uncheck for thus, XV=1 cannot disable PLUS empty CC LD flags (args) patch autoconf 1) sdksyms.sh didn't include all syms (for more than just XV 2) hw/xfree86/Makefile doesn't link Xorg to Xext/.libs/libXext.a unsure why yet $ patch -b sdksyms.sh sdksyms.sh-X11R7.6.patch $ patch -b configure.ac configure.ac-X11R7.6.patch $ patch -b configure.ac configure.ac-X11R7.6.patch $ patch -b patch intel_buffer_objects.c intel_buffer_objects.c-X11R7.6.patch # see below cd /xorg/xorg-server-1.9.3/hw/xfree86/loader/ mv sdksyms.sh sdksyms.sh.orig patch sdksyms.sh.orig sdksyms.sh.X11R7.6.patch # reset is done by make # new configure made, checks "have XV" correctly, not nullish cd /xorg/xorg-server-1.9.3/ mv configure.am configure.am.orig patch configure.am.orig configure.am.X11R7.6.patch autoconf this is a summary of changes (n.i. xorg_symbols added by sdksyms.sh) if even with the below, editing xorg_symbols: ../Makefile did not link Xorg, even with hacking. only when i used autconf with new configure.am did things go my way: this indicates X11R7.6 tarball was released broken) go without XV? insure your video driver doesn't require it first! i tried that and it didn't work (esp with OLD/ORIG configure script) i have to try XV="" again , havent w/new configure, may work i'm pretty sure my video-drv isnt' in xserver build tree and has XV default as true an no option to turn it off # FILE: xorg/xorg-server-1.9.3/hw/xfree86/loader/sdksyms.c /* WRONG - was hacked out to not work */ #if XV # include "xv.h" #endif /* #if XV #include "xf86xv.h" #include "xf86xvmc.h" #include "xf86xvpriv.h" /* currently, "xvdix.h" is indirectly included by others */ #endif /* need this if NOT XV (using orig configure, unsure with updated, but ok) */ #if XV #define XVFUNDONT #endif #ifndef XVFUNDONT /* for xf86XVClipVideoHelper xf86Ctrc.c */ #include "../../../include/miscstruct.h" #include #include #include extern _X_EXPORT Bool xf86XVClipVideoHelper( BoxPtr dst, INT32 *xa, INT32 *xb, INT32 *ya, INT32 *yb, RegionPtr reg, INT32 width, INT32 height ){return 0;} #endif ############################# #!/bin/sh # FILE: fix-X11R7.6-missing-headers ] mkdir -p /usr/local/include/xorg/ cp /usr/src/jdh/X11R7.6/xorg/xorg-server-1.9.3/hw/xfree86/common/xf86xv*.h /usr/ local/include/xorg/ mkdir -p /usr/local/include/X11/Xft/ cp /usr/src/jdh/X11R7.6/xorg/freetype-2.4.4/include/freetype/config/*.h /usr/loc al/include/X11/Xft/ ############################# # FILE: xorg/Mesa-7.8.2/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i915/intel_buffer_objects.c #/* add before other includes */ #include #include #include #include #include #include ############################# # FILE: xorg/Mesa-10.3.3/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i915/intel_buffer_objects.c /* add before other includes. can u tell Mesa team is in libdrm ? */ #include #include #include #include #include #include ############################# # FILE: xorg/libdrm-2.4.22/radeon/radeon_cs_gem.c /** * result is undefined if called with ~0 */ /* __builtin_ctz returns number of trailing zeros. */ /* static uint32_t get_first_zero(const uint32_t n) { return 1 << __builtin_ctz(~n); } */ /* replacement */ rst_zero(const uint32_t n) { unsigned int x,i, s, nn ; nn=(unsigned int) n; x=0;i=0;s=sizeof(n); for(i=1;i<=sizeof(n)*CHAR_BIT;++i) { if( (nn & 1) == 0 ) ++x; else break; nn=nn>>1; } return (uint32_t) x; } ############################# # FILE: xorg/xlsclients-1.1.1/xlsclients.c /* add just after: static xcb_atom_t WM_STATE; */ static xcb_atom_t WM_CLASS, WM_CLIENT_MACHINE, WM_COMMAND, WM_ICON_NAME, WM_NAME, WM_NAME, STRING; ############################# # FILE: xorg/x11perf-1.5.2/Makefile.in X11PERF_CFLAGS = @X11PERF_CFLAGS@ -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 x11perf_LDADD = $(XEXT_LIBS) $(XFT_LIBS) $(XRENDER_LIBS) $(X11PERF_LIBS) -lm -lfreetype ############################# # FILE: /etc/x11-loc # for xdm-options if using xdm BINDIR=/usr/local/bin LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib VARDIR=/var ETCX11DIR=/etc/X11 XSERVERNAME=/usr/local/bin/Xorg XDMDIR=/etc/X11/xdm-options XDM=xdm-options ############################# # FILE: /etc/xorg.conf # put this just after the Section "ServerLayout" # yes your mouse works - Xorg will still lock you out due to ?race cond?
