I can see it in the 6.2.0 version of the book in the museum. We still had "traditional" X (i.e. monolithic) in both Xorg and XFree86 flavours, as well as Modular X (7.1). At that time, Mesa was listed among the X libraries (because it required libraries from Xorg. No idea why libdrm went into general libraries.
Personally, I think moving it to chapter 24 makes a lot of sense - the only reason I can see for installing libdrm is to build Xorg. But that may impact Bruce's scripts to check for newer versions. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
