Re: FreeBSD 5.0 XFree86 4_2_1 source anyone?

Hi,

I built and installed xfree86 from the head of cvs a while
ago under 5.0 because the one from port could not recognize
my ATI Radeon 9000. I did not have the problems you described
below, but keep in mind that my -CURRENT might be different
from your -CURRENT. :-)

Here's a snapshot from my world.lod:

===========================================================================
Building Release 6.6 of the X Window System.

I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.

Mon Dec 23 17:02:25 PST 2002
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
cd ./config/imake && make   -f Makefile.ini BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="" CC="cc" clean
  ...
<snip>
  ...
make -f xmakefile   VerifyOS

Building on FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT i386 [ELF] (5.0.0).

GCC version: 3.2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

<snip>

===========================================================================

Install went fine, too. Notice the date which is most likely the date
of the head of cvs for both FreeBSD CURRENT and XFree86.

I did have to install the XFree86 CVS build into a separate directory
(/usr/local/X11R6) while keeping the one from ports (/usr/X11R6) to
satisfy tons of port dependencies (such as gnome, etc.).

Just a data point for your reference because the version of gcc is
not the same as yours (3.2.1).

Cheers,

yushun.
