I found your post very useful in my own path to build Xorg 7.0 But it doesn't work yet for me... :( I'm trying to install xorg 7 from scratch. I removed all files from a previous installation of xorg 6.8.2 Now if I try to build Mesa on its own, first, it complains about the absence of X11/Xlib.h And if I try to build xorg --with-mesa... pointing to the dir where I unpacked only the MesaLib, then it complains about the absence of Mesa. It says: --------------------------------------- configure: error: cannot find GL library - make sure Mesa or other OpenGL package is installed See `config.log' for more details. ***** configure failed on app/xdriinfo make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. ***** make failed on app/xdriinfo make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. ***** install failed on app/xdriinfo ------------------------------------------ and then xorg-server is not built. What is the path I must follow to build Xorg7 and DRI from scratch? Please, any hint would be appreciated. Luca PS I'm using this command to build xorg ./build-from-tarballs.sh -n -m /usr/src/mesa/Mesa-6.4.1 /usr To make Mesalib I tried make linux-dri-x86 and make linux but none works. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
