Hi All,
I read the earlier thread re: xorg 7.0 and discussion seems to have
stopped around the end of December.
I have viewed this page
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/blfs-xorg7/x/xorg7.html to get an
idea of what's involved but I wanted to check if any further work has
been done on the package ordering, scripting etc... Before I launch into
the quicksand of doing 200 CMMIs in the right order! I am just about to
put X on my newest machine and an wondering which way to go...
To be honest, this [7.0] looks like a total PITA compared to the
monolithic tree (but maybe that's just my aversion to change?).
There also seems to be no mention of influencing the build with the
host.def file as was done previously! Is this correct? Are we now
required to apply the right configure switches to the right packages
individually? Of which there seem to be hundreds!!!
I am tempted to build 6.9 instead, as this uses the old build method, if
I am not mistaken, but is the same code as 7.0.
Also, does anyone know if the GGC4 patch is needed for these versions of X?
Help! Anyone...
Cheers
Al
