Build error for the Xorg R7.6 in Ubuntu 10.10

[Chen, Dennis (SRDC SW)]

Hi Gaetan,

 

Thank you for the help! Yes, I found I missed some tools un-installed. Now I installed all the package listed in http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages#KarmicKoala9.10

Though some tool versions a little bit older, but apt-get install will handle this…

 

After all the required packages installed, then with the below command will build the total package of the xorg successfully:

util/modular/build.sh --clone -n

 

Thanks again…

Dennis

I found that the  following build instruction doesn't work in my ubuntu 10.10:
=================================================
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-August/001826.html :

These instructions are a couple of years old. The build.sh script had a major update recently.
The --help is up-to-date.

This wiki has been updated as well.
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#Buildingthemodulartree

You can let the build script set the environment variables for you.
The default values should work for you unless you have very special needs.

What you might get into is some missing tools. This wiki lists all the packages
you need to build xorg. It would be nice if you could update it with version 10.10.
You have about 20 or so UBUNTU packages to install.
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RequiredPackages

 
Usage: build.sh -L
  -L : just list modules to build
util/modular/build.sh -L > modlist.txt        # Creates a list of all modules to be built
 
Usage: build.sh [options] [prefix]
 
util/modular/build.sh --clone -n      # Do not stop on error
util/modular/build.sh --clone --autoresume resume.txt        # Stop on error but record where you are


You must supply the prefix which is where you want the modules to install the binaries, not where the source code is (but it could be the same). Expect a git repository to time out, it happens sometimes.
