|

<para>With the new modular build system, is no longer possible to download
|
||||
the entire package in a single file. In fact, there may be upto 200 files
|
||||
that need to be fetched from the download location. To assist with
|
||||
such a large task, it is strongly recommended to install
|
||||
<xref linkend="wget"/> for downloading the needed files. A complete
|
||||
<application>wget</application> script is available for each section at
|
||||
<ulink
|
||||
url="http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/x/wget/"/>.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Givin the number of packages availible, deciding which packages you
|
||||
need to install for your particular setup may seem a bit overwhelming at
|
||||
first. Take a look at<ulink
|
||||
url="http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-modular/2005-November/000801.html">
|
||||
this thread</ulink> to get an idea of what you will need. If you are
|
||||
unsure, simply install all packages at the cost of extra diskspace.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Additionally, because of the large number of repetative commands,
|
||||
you are encouraged to script the build. For most sections, you can use
|
||||
the following commands to compile and install all packages in your build
|
||||
directory:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen>for package in *.tar.bz2
|
||||
do
|
||||
packagedir=`echo $package | sed 's/.tar.bz2//'`
|

tar -xf $package &&
|

cd $packagedir &&
|
||||
./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
|

make &&
|

make install
|
||||
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
|
||||
break #stop the build if the previous command failed
|
||||
fi
|
||||
cd .. &&
|

rm -rf $packagedir

<title>Setting up the Xorg Build Environment</title>

<para>First, you'll need to create a working directory:</para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir xc &&

|
||||
|
||||
<para>As with previous releases of the X Windows System, it may be
|
||||
desireable to install <application>Xorg</application> into an alternate
|
||||
prefix. This is no longer common practice among linux distributions.
|
||||
The common installation prefix for <application>Xorg</application> on
|
||||
linux is <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>. There is no standard
|
||||
alternate prefix, nor is there any exception in the current revision of
|
||||
the Filesystem Hierarcy Standard for Release 7 of the X Windows System.
|
||||
Alan Coopersmith of Sun Microsystems, has recently stated
|
||||
"At Sun, we were using <filename class="directory">/usr/X11</filename> and
|
||||
plan to stick with it." Only the
|
||||
<filename class="directory">/opt/*</filename> prefix or the
|
||||
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename> prefix adhere to the current
|
||||
FHS guidelines.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Choose your installation prefix, and set the
|
||||
<parameter>XORG_PREFIX</parameter> variable with the following
|
||||
command:</para>
|
||||
|

<screen><userinput>export XORG_PREFIX="<replaceable>[/usr]</replaceable>"</userinput></screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Throughout these instructions, you will use the same three
|
||||
configure switches for all of the packages. Create the
|
||||
<parameter>XORG_CONFIG</parameter> varialbe to use for substitution:</para>
|
||||

<para>When needed, <application>Xorg</application> creates the directory

the directory before <application>Xorg</application> uses it. Add the
