It looks as though you specified a temporary directory for the prefix and later moved X elsewhare. This is what the Developer's Guide seems to suggest. Unfortunately, it's just plain wrong. The prefix should reflect where X will actually be installed. DESTDIR is used to install to temporary directories (i.e. make DESTDIR=[somethihg] install). Unfortunately, you can't readily use DESTDIR in building xorg since "prefix" is hardcoded into the pkg-config files. This is particularly vexing when cross-compiling. The easiest solution might be to install to something like /usr/X11R7-[arch] or /opt/X11R7-[arch]. You can then point symlinks to it on the target system as desired. Another approach that just might work would be to set up an environment as follows (let's assume X will be installed in /usr/X11R7): DESTDIR=[some temp dir] PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DESTDIR/usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig ACLOCAL="alocal -I $DESTDIR/usr/X11R7/share/aclocal" PKG_CONFIG="my-pkg-config" "my-pkg-config" is a shell script (maybe a bash script if "$?" isn't universal): #! /bin/sh # Granted this looks odd, but we want the exit value to be that of # pkg-config, not sed. result=`pkg-config $@` retval=$? echo "$result" | sed "s,/usr/X11R7,$DESTDIR/usr/X11R7,g" exit $retval Then build as normal, specifying /usr/X11R7 as prefix (and keep your fingers crossed). I tried it with the xclock source and the resultant Makefile *looks* okay. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg </blockquote> <hr size=1>Cheap Talk? <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mail_us/taglines/postman8/*http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=39663/*http://voice.yahoo.com">Check out</a> Yahoo!
