While I was working for the thread "syslinux build failure", built current Tigervnc-1.4.2, and found some points that would possibly deserve some modifications:
1. The ftp URL for xorg-server has a long delay, while the following one starts the download with non-perceptible delay: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/xserver/xorg-server-1.16.2.901.tar.bz2 2. Older xorg=server is still used in the build instructions and needs modification: s/xorg-server-1.15.0/xorg-server-1.16.2.901/ 3. Minor reformat needed (?): From pushd unix/xserver && patch -Np1 -i ../../../tigervnc-1.4.2-xorg116-1.patch && autoreconf -fi && to pushd unix/xserver && patch -Np1 -i ../../../tigervnc-1.4.2-xorg116-1.patch && autoreconf -fi && 4. Minor reformat in the configure switches perhaps needed: From --disable-devel-docs --disable-config-hal --disable-config-udev \ --disable-unit-tests --disable-selective-werror \ --without-dtrace --enable-dri2 --enable-glx \ --enable-glx-tls --with-pic && make && popd to --disable-devel-docs --disable-config-hal --disable-config-udev \ --disable-unit-tests --disable-selective-werror \ --without-dtrace --enable-dri2 --enable-glx \ --enable-glx-tls --with-pic && make && 5. Didn't find any reference to *asm in the log, so, seems not rquired. Search in the source (grep) seems to output only bundled packages. These ones are not needed during tigervc build, because are listed as required. Didin't to a much extensive reading of the grep output, but one example is libjpeg-turbo, required, so nasm is only need when building it. Probably a best category for nasm would be "Optional". Again, I don't want to decide. Bruce, perhaps you would want to consider some of these, as you maintain the package. Also, you have a better judgement of all these items than I do. Any way, in case you wish and don't find time for doing it/them, I can make your approved modifications. -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
