I'm trying to update from source - after a programmer informed me I had the
most broken build of X he ever came across (~500!). He was right.
Make World >& world.log
craps out after 5 seconds with this:
cd ./config/makedepend && make -f Makefile.proto bootstrap
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xc/config/makedepend'
Makefile.proto:34: <host.def>: No such file or directory
Makefile.proto:1201: *** missing `endef', unterminated `define'. Stop.
Line 1200 was the last line:-/. I have tried:
Searching xfree.org with google, and I came across advice that it was
1. a missing 'endef'
2. endef somewhere instead of 'endif'
grep -r yields negative results on 'endef' in ~/xc/*
I didn't change any endif statements.
I'm running Linux Mandrake 8.0, kernel 2.4.3, gcc-2.96. I did go to RTFM, but
when I investigated instructions in |INSTALL_X.org, I was told it's a legacy
from the distant past. What is the up-to-date INSTALL instructions?
Quote from INSTALL-X.org - 3.6.2:
3.6.2. Other GNU tools
Use of the GNU BinUtils assembler, as, and linker, ld, is not supported
-- period! If you have them installed on your system you must rename or
remove them for the duration of the R6.6 build. (You can restore them
afterwards.)
Is that real??? What do I use in Linux???
