xproto.pc is where? where do i start?

[Attila Nagy]

Hi!
Basically you need _everything_ from those subdirs, OR
the "everything" directory itself.
But to build 7.1 you need the 7.0 sources too - your
best bet would be to dl both "everything" dirs from 70
and 71 respectively.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know the
Sparc version of X is not perfect yet (I remember to
have read that somewhere lately, but I'm not sure at
all!)

I'm on Solaris x86, so I'm not sure about the Sparc
situation.

One more thing:
Start here!

Good luck!
