One for the archives (I would have put it straight into the wiki, but I wasn't sure where: I couldn't find xkeyboard-config among the apps, libraries, or data for the xorg releases).
If you are using xkeyboard-config-0.9 you may hit the following problem when you come to build xorg-server: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xorg-server-1.1.1/xkb' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z "/usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled" mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/X11/xkb/compiled': File exists make[2]: *** [install-dist_xkbcompiledDATA] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xorg-server-1.1.1/xkb' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xorg-server-1.1.1/xkb' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 This is because the 'compiled' directory is now a symlink (with xkbdata it didn't exist). It is created by the install-compiled target of xkeyboard-config at the end of the install. In CVS, it has been removed from Makefile.am so I think it is safe to delete it with sed -i '/^install-data-hook/s/install-compiled//' Makefile.in before running configure. Perhaps I should also add that xkeyboard-config depends on intltool. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
