Xorg Modular build on FreeBSD 7.0

[Vincent Blondel]

Does somebody get some news for me ??
Maybe I can put copy of the built binaries if somebody gets a FreeBSD to
test this compilation ..

Hi,

I am back from holiday so this morning I took back my problems with Xorg.

I finally solved ( I think so ) compilation problems. After some reading I
noticed some requirements. Mesa needs some Xorg packages to compile but
Xorg needs Mesa, Pixman, Drm to compile so this is the way  I compile the
whole things :

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /usr/local/gnu-autotools/share/aclocal-1.10 -I
/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include"
export PATH=/usr/local/gnu-autotools/bin:$PATH

* util/macros
* proto/*
* xcb/proto
* lib/ libxtrans libXau libXdmcp
* xcb/ pthread-stubs libxcb
* lib/ libX11 libXt libXmu libXi libXxf86vm
* drm

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/X11R6
gmake
gmake dist
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib gmake install

* mesa

gmake realclean
gmake freebsd-dri-x86
cp lib/*_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/dri/
cp lib/lib*     /usr/X11R6/lib/

* pixman
* ./util/modular/build.sh

This seems to compile nicely except I always get some errors like

***** make failed on lib/libXcomposite

You can find copy of the complete build phase at
http://jlang.dyndns.org/files/Xorg/X11R6.log.

So I tried to startx my gnome environment but now I get another problem
with a complete freeze of the desktop. startx begins to load, I get a
black screen and then nothing happens. I also cannot ping my desktop
anymmore. One  solution remains, ... reboot :(-

Maybe I forgot something in compilation phase. Any help would be welcome.

The use of == with test or [ constitutes a bashism.  If you see any instance
of that in a /bin/sh script in Xorg, that represents a bug, with a very
simple fix: s/==/=/.
