Ah, this is what David Dawes was talking about in Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> yesterday: <quote> This is from X.Org's installation notes. The context, although not all that obvious, is platforms on which the GNU binutils are NOT the standard tools -- like Solaris. This doesn't apply to Linux. </quote> The file INSTALL-X.org is the original installation notes from X.org. It's *not* from XFree86.org, and it's not relevant. It's only kept around for historical reference. X.org and XFree86.org are two different organizations. I believe for a normal build on a supported (by XFree86.org, not by X.org) platform, all you need to do is "Make World" in the xc directory and it will automagically figure out what environment it's building on, and build *for* that. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
