If you use all the packages in the X11R7.2 release directory the build should be flawless (since I'm able to cross-compile it without a problem). There's also the addition of libxcb (which requires libpthread-stubs and xcb-proto). I've been building libpthread-stubs right after libXdmcp and libxcb right after that. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
