A question for Xserver debug
Hi,all I am debugging the xserver code now. But one thing has puzzled me. When I add some modification to /dix/main.c , then make make install. Though the new main.c file has been compiled, no modification effect display. After that, I do some modification to /hw/xfree86/common/xf86Init.c. Do the same steps. The modification to main.c displays at the same time. Why this happens??

No one has ever gone through the exercise of ensuring the complex dependencies are properly setup to force rebuilding the Xorg server any time any related file changes. Sometimes you just have to manually rm hw/xfree86/Xorg and then make install.

Re: A question for Xserver debug
Done as Alan said. rm /hw/xfree86/Xorg , then rebuild and install. The modificaiotn to main takes effect. The dependency is not build well for this. Ajax, how to do solve this?
