Hi
Coould there be a problem in the Mesa 6.4.2 build instructions ? After
executing
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's@/usr/X11R6@/[EMAIL PROTECTED]' {} \; &&
sed -i '[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/X11/modules@' src/glx/x11/dri_glx.c
You should have used 's@/usr/X11R6@/usr/[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the above (which as
you said would have done absolutely nothing). The instructions are
correct in the context of release7 which uses '/usr' as the default
prefix, but are really confusing when taking into account /usr/X11R6. I
honestly didn't expect anyone to build against release 6, and the
instructions weren't targeted for it. It never even occured to me how
confusing this text would be. I'll revise the book's instructions
shortly with replaceable tags to account for it. Thanks for bringing it
up.
In the end, it'll be better to provide a define for those in the source
code. I'll see if I can come up with a patch for that someday. I don't
know if it's as trivial as I am think it is right now. :-) I'll find
out in a few weeks if somebody doesn't beat me to it.
