I just updated the wget files in SVN. Bruce, I think I recall you
mentioning this the other day. Are you wanting to do the update? If not,
I don't mind doing it, but I really do want somebody else to go through
it as I fear it is getting kind of stale. Specifically, the
configuration section is completely out of date. I made a weak attempt
to replace it with a single page about a year ago I'd guess, but things
like 'X -configure' simply do not work any longer on newer hardware,
whereas a simple 'startx' almost always does.
Other notes:
LLVM will need to be added to the book for Mesa (Andy posted a nice
build script the other day that links everything dynamic for 2.9, but
3.0 fails to build for me).
I did a full installation, including all of the legacy apps and bitmap
fonts, with all deps in place (except for OpenVG). In addition to the
wget files, I have the following related packages:
fontconfig-2.8.0
freetype-2.4.8
libatomic_ops-1.2
libdrm-2.4.27
libpthread_stubs-0.3
libXau-1.0.6
libxcb-1.7
libXdmcp-1.1.0
llvm-2.9
makedepend-1.0.3
MesaLib-7.11.2 - old patch for xdemos works, but need to add '-lX11
-lm' to the compiler command (in patch)
talloc-2.0.7
util-macros-1.15.0
xcb-proto-1.6
xcursor-themes-1.0.3
xkeyboard-config-2.0
xorg-server-1.11.2
xterm-276
cairo has --enable-gl in the default configuration, which doesn't work
on the first build. A note should be added about the reciprocal
dependency for Mesa and recommendation made to rebuild with the
additional options after completion of Xorg, and that switch removed
from the default configure flags.
I removed xf86-input-mouse, xf86-input-keyboard, and
xf86-input-synaptics (xf86-input-evdev covers just about everything on
modern Linux hosts).
Need to add notes about newer hardware, etc.
I'm sure there is more, but I gotta get up in 5 hours.
