There is no such thing as a single binary for X11R7.7 - its dozens of programs<br>
and libraries and hundreds of data files (fonts, bitmaps, docs, etc.).<br>
<br>
I also don't understand how you would use it to "check the OS" - if this is a<br>
new OS or hardware/CPU platform, then you're likely going to have to port it,<br>
not just build it. If it's an existing OS/CPU, then someone has probably<br>
already done all of this - often the OS distro maker - and you should be<br>
installing their packages, not starting from scratch.<br>
<br>
If you are going to build it all, then generally, you would run<br>
"./configure ; make ; make install" for every module, but there's a lot of<br>
dependencies, including specific ordering between the modules if you don't<br>
have any X packages already, so a far more detailed guide is available at:<br>
