4. make World > World.log 2>&1
tail -f World.log
During building i got the error in xc/programs/glxinfo/ directory that __eprintf: symbol referencing error. for that change CC=g++ in Makefile of glxinfo directory.
then again i build it with just make.
got an error of png.h not found. For that install libpng and build once again.
After building, i installed the binaries by the command
make install
then while i try to configure by
XFree86 -configure
i got the following error log. can anybody give me the solution for this?...
[...]
(WW) xf86LinearVidMem: failed to open /dev/fbs/aperture (No such file or directory) (WW) xf86LinearVidMem: either /dev/fbs/aperture or /dev/xsvc device driver required (WW) xf86LinearVidMem: linear memory access disabled
Read these. Then follow that up with README.Solaris.
Thanks for your valuable information. I am able to install the aperture driver according to README under aperture/README. The driver compiled for 64 bit and there was no issue with adding the driver. I have confirmed the driver installation with modinfo | grep aperture. But after this step when I tried once again, XFree86 -configure the system hangs. The last line of then console output as follows.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Fri Nov 26 16:50:37 2004
Then I restarted the system, and when I checked XFree86.0.log, I could not see any messages. Am I missing still any configuration steps. Can this error be associated with "(WW) xf86LinearVidMem: linear memory access disabled". Can you explain possible reasons for this error. Did I miss any specific configuration during building.
If /dev/fbs/aperture still does not exist on your system, then either you did not do a reconfigure boot (a simple reboot won't suffice), or it failed for some reason. Check /var/log/messages. Also, if you used gcc to generate the aperture driver, ensure its version is 3.2 or later. Earlier gcc's simply won't work.
Marc.
