Ok, Thanks.
I am using the script from the "Introduction to Xorg-7.1" page, with a little
bit of modification.
#!/bin/sh
export XORG_PREFIX="/usr"
export XORG_CONFIG="--prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=$XORG_PREFIX/share/man --localstatedir=/var"
rm xorg-compile.log
for package in $(cat package.list)
do
echo "Building: $package"
packagedir=$(echo $package | sed 's/.tar.bz2//')
tar -xf $package &&
cd $packagedir &&
./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
rm -rf $packagedir
#rm -f $package
done 2>&1 | tee -a xorg-compile.log #log the entire loop
My package.list file was generated by ls > package.list so that is why things
were built out of order. I missed the note on the intro page about the
dependencies :)
I'll try ln -s lib-7.1.wget package.list, then I will expect better results!
Hope I am not disappointed. :)
