Re: [blfs-dev] Xorg-7.7 MANDATORY paths
It took a very long time for this message to appear in the list. This delay has been happening since some days ago. Thus, I am building Xorg without the modifications I am asking about below, still replies would be much appreciated.

I only upgraded MesaLib, so I can't be of any help here. I install Xorg into /usr, I don't use instructions from the book. I have my own ways of building and/or upgrading Xorg. As for the mail delays, I've noticed it too. Sometimes it takes about an hour or so for mails to appear in my inbox. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
