<title>X Window System Environment</title>
<para>This chapter contains instructions to build and configure a graphical
user environment.</para>
<para><application>Xorg</application>, in addition to clearing up some
licensing issues with <ulink url="http://www.xfree86.org/">XFree86</ulink>,
introduced a completely auto-tooled build for the X Window system. This
means that the packages build and install using the conventional
<command>configure</command>, <command>make</command>, and <command>make
install</command> commands, as opposed to a proprietary build system that
required hand editing of configuration parameters in a C-like syntax.</para>
<para><application>Xorg</application> also brought with it a modular build
system. While this separation into modules resulted in full control of the
features available to the X server on any given installation, it also made
the installation more tedious as it requires installing more than 100
different packages to obtain a functional X Window environment. Most large
commercial distributions have elected to use <application>Xorg</application>
over the <application>XFree86</application> distribution due to both
licensing issues and the increased functionality provided by it over
<application>XFree86</application>. With the modular build system, also came
incremental updates to individual packages. The distribution of
<application>Xorg</application> is given a release number by the developers,
in this case Xorg-&xorg-version;, and is referred to as the "katamari" by
the upstream developers.</para>
<!--
<para>Additionally, the BLFS book appends a build number
to the end of version string to indicate whether a group of incremental
updates has been applied, while still retaining the versioning scheme of the
upstream developers. For instance, Xorg-&xorg-version;-1 would indicate that
this is the 1st release, and is consistent with the katamari, while
Xorg-&xorg-version;-2 would indicate that individual package updates have
been applied to the katamari.</para>
