<para>XFree86 is a freely redistributable open-source implementation of the
|
|
X Window System. XFree86 provides a client/server interface between display
|
|
hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment
|
|
while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized
|
|
application interface (API).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen>XFree86 depends on:
|
|
<xref linkend="libpng"/></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The following packages are included in the XFree86 package, however they
|
|
are updated more often than the XFree86 package and are highly recommended:
|
|
<screen><xref linkend="expat"/>, <xref linkend="freetype2"/> and <xref linkend="fontconfig"/></screen>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>If you choose to not install these separate packages, the
|
|
<filename>host.def</filename> file below will have to be modified to
|
|
instruct XFree86 build them.</para></note>

<para>There are several files that need to be fetched from the download location:
|
|
<screen>X430src-1.tgz 10736 KB
|
|
X430src-2.tgz 7776 KB
|
|
X430src-3.tgz 12077 KB
|
|
X430src-4.tgz 12604 KB
|
|
X430src-5.tgz 4286 KB
|
|
X430src-6.tgz 7886 KB
|
|
X430src-7.tgz 9099 KB</screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You should also download the patch file:
|
|
<ulink url="ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/fixes/4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz" /></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The first three packages are the XFree86 programs, the fourth and fifth are fonts,
|
|
the sixth is normal documentation, and the seventh is hardcopy documentation.
|
|
There are also two packages <filename>doctools-1.3.1.tgz</filename>, which
|
|
contain programs to regenerate hardcopy documentation, and
|
|
<filename>utils-1.1.0.tgz</filename>, which contain <filename>gnutar</filename>
|
|
and <filename>zlib</filename> which are already installed on an LFS system.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To check your downloads for integrity, download the <filename>SUMS.md5sum</filename>
|
|
file. Then:
|
|
<screen>md5sum X430src* > md5sums &&
|
|
diff md5sums SUMS.md5sum</screen>
|
|
The only differences you should see are for <filename>README</filename>,
|
|
<filename>doctools-1.3.1.tgz</filename>, and
|
|
<filename>utils-1.1.0.tgz</filename> files if you did
|
|
not download them.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The fixes subdirectory also has a SUMS.md5sum and this can be checked against
|
|
the patch file:
|
|
<screen>md5sum 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz</screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>After unpacking the <filename>X430src-?.tgz</filename> files, change to the
|
|
<filename>xc</filename> directory and run:
|
|
<screen>bunzip2 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz &&
|
|
patch -Np1 -i 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff</screen></para>
