Yep, make install should do it. That will install everything that's necessary in /usr/X11R6-DRI (as long as that's how ProjectRoot is defined in host.def), leaving some libs that you copied over that don't need rebuilding. It shouldn't touch /usr/X11R6, but may try to install a few things in /etc/X11 I think, so you might want to back that up if you're worried. I had a few symlink problems in /etc/X11 because RedHat has some differences with the stock X there. I created my /usr/X11R6-DRI with lndir (like with the build tree), so that I don't have two copies of the original X libs that don't get rebuilt. The symlinks are just replaced by the new stuff by make install, so it's easy to see what belongs to the DRI build. When I update my CVS tree I just run make install again to rebuild/install the stuff that's changed. Make World shouldn't be necessary every time unless there has been a merge from the trunk that includes core X changes. -- Leif Delgass _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
