I just hope that everything works for you when Xorg has been installed. Building everything in a tty is a valid approach, but it becomes painful if you ever build a complete system and then find that startx (or a DM) does not work. > Regarding Mesa without LLVM (my video controller is Intel i915): the book > (http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable-systemd/x/mesa.html) states > that the build instructions need to be modified if LLVM is not installed, but > details are not given.

Or are other > changes necessary as well? I would definitely drop radeonsi, dropping nouveau will do no harm if you don't use nvidia cards. And I suppose drop -lLLVM. But give it a (logged) build in case other changes are necessary. I don't recall the details of pre-meson Mesa versions, everything in its build has changed - but I'm not sure if the version of meson in LFS-8.4 is good enough for recent Mesa, there have been some "interesting" issues in Mesa and meson. ĸen -- This is magic for grown-ups; it has to be hard because we know there's no such thing as a free goblin. -- Pratchett, Stewart & Cohen - The Science of Discworld II -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
