I probably would have figured that out - except that no XDirectFB binary existed there, most likely because I had compiled nothing.
As I went back over this message, I suddenly realized the problem might simply be that I never got module 'xc' from xfree.org, like README said, and tried to use xdirectfb-1.6.4 instead. So if you think that's definitely the problem, don't bother reading my attempt to install using the wrong archive/module/blob/whatever with XDirectFB-1.0-rc1. - Before anyone asks, yes I have DirectFB-0.9.10 installed. - I had XDirectFB-1.0-rc1 and xdirectfb-1.6.4 (from 'ports') decompressed and all that. - After doing everything else except maybe the first step, I did 'make World' and 'make install' which both crashed and burned with error 2, after quickly running by several missing directories (like doc, fonts, and nls). I did 'make -i ....' to tell make to work regardless of errors... which created more errors and no binaries. * When I think about it, was I even supposed to get xdirectfb-1.6.4 from the 'ports' directory of the downloads are on the DirectFB website? ------------ As I mess around at xfree.org, could someone PLEASE tell me how to get the module XC off of there, or just somewhere? I can't find _anything_ except a CVS mess and that doesn't help me much - I have to do all my Internet junk on a Windoze box, so I can't do much on CVS... I never use it anyway... -- _______________________________________________ Download the free Opera browser at http://www.opera.com/ Powered by Outblaze -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
