I can't use gentoo specific ways. Thanks for the info though. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> X.org project uses GNU packages as a unit of distribution typically called tarballs. This is what X.org published on its web site, a GNU package that is configured, but not compiled or linked. Source code is shipped, not binaries. It's worth a look at the INSTALL file in the package. The source code in git contains Autoconf and Automake files (configure.ac and Makefile.am). When running autogen.sh script (which is not part of the GNU build system), it performs 2 steps: it runs autoreconf which creates the platform independent configuration and then it runs the generated script "configure" which creates the platform specific configuration. A tarball can be created from git on Linux and then be installed and configured on Solaris. In util/modular, scripts like build.sh and others have been created to cycle through all 240+ independent modules. They know nothing about the platform where they are executed and nothing about the tools needed to build (e.g. compilers, lex & yacc, etc...) Assuming all the tools required to build are installed on a given platform, you can go to any X.Org package and type "./configure ; make install" and it should work (add your --prefix). What is typically not easy is to have all the tools lined up properly on a given platform. I have counted about 32 of them. I have documented them for Ubuntu and OpenSolaris. It would be nice to complete the list with those missing. <A HREF="http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages">http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages</A> It looks like you are struggling with Python. I recall a similar issue on OpenSolaris which was solved by installed a python-lxml package. Maybe that can help. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Matt _______________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</A>: X.Org development Archives: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel</A> Info: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
