(Bcc to DJ in case he is not following everything on this list) Prompted by noticing yesterday that someone had a problem while trying to build mozjs60 and happened to be building that in the xc directory -
In 'Introduction to Xorg-7' we say: First, you'll need to create a working directory: mkdir xc && cd xc But we never actually go out of those directories anywhere in the book. I have not created an xc/ directory for building in _many_ years. From memory, DJ introduced this directory in the days when Xorg was transitioning from the old monolithic "everything in one tarball" to the current "many separate packages" approach, perhaps releases 6.8 (old-style) and 6.9 (new-style). The purpose was to ensure that nothing which was compiled in the old approach had been omitted from the new approach. I think the time to remove the xc directory is long overdue. But as always, I might be missing something. comments welcome, particularly from DJ. ĸen -- When alle is ſayed and all is done, ye must chooſe your faces wisely, for soon enouff ye will be playing with fyre."
