Help with compiling X 4.2.0
I am trying to compile X so that I can use my Geforce2 video card. I am running debian 2.2r2 and did a clean install yesterday. I put the source code on the drive and began compiling. The make World worked fine, but when I did make Install I recieved the following errors... ... rm -f gunzip.o gcc -c -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -I../../../include/fonts -I../include -I../../../programs/Xserver/include -I../../../include -I../../.. -I../../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DFONTDIRATTRIB -DBUILD_SPEEDO -DBUILD_TYPE1 -DBUILD_CID -DBUILD_FREETYPE -DFONT_ENCODINGS_DIRECTORY=\/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir\ -DX_GZIP_FONT_COMPRESSION gunzip.c gunzip.c:9: zlib.h: No such file or directory make[4]: *** [gunzip.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/matt/xc/lib/font/fontfile' make[3]: *** [fontfile] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/matt/xc/lib/font' make[2]: *** [install] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/matt/xc/lib' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/matt/xc' make: *** [install] Error 2 How can I fix this error, or is it an error I can fix?

Compiling X
Hi all. I recently had to build 3.3.6 version for glibc2.0. Went smoothhowever, after I replaced video card this morning, and reran XF86Setup, I ran into problems with users starting X (root can do it fine): Fatal Server Error: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions. You should be using Xwrapper to start server or xdm. We strongly advise against making server SetUID. I've recompilied X and turned off all SetUID flags I could find but nothing seems to work still. And I kinda want to get back into user shell (for one thing, I can not use netscape and xchat, I'd stay root if not those things). Any suggestions? TIA, Andrew - Andrei S.

Re: Compiling X
Why are you compiling X?? Do you know debian packages? To my experience they work a lot easier then compiling yourself Just download the .deb packages you need (or use apt, you want the newest x but perhaps you don't want to upgrade your whole system to potato or woody, in that case you should download) and install them using dpkg...

Re: Compiling X
I need to use 3.3.6 b/c of my video card, and only 3.2.11 version is avaibliel for slink that I use. I dont want to upgrade to potato right now, until I can get a CD. I don't think I could install 3.3.6 from potato b/c of the dependencies, unless I upgrade the systemam I wrong on that? Andrew Why are you compiling X?? Do you know debian packages?

compiling X from the debian sources doesn't work.
Hi, I recently bought the cheapbytes debian 2.1 CD's. Because the computer that I am using at the moment is a P-60, there is a strong urgency to tweak every last bit of speed out of my system. I decided to recompile my x-server and libraries in order to eek a bit more speed out of X, by using pentium optimisations ( I used pentium-builder package. ) However, when I have unpacked the x source and diff (revision 11), and do dbuild, after many hours, dbuild quits with errors. (the whole error log is something like 2.5 MB so I have extracted relevant bits :-) ) (I have also tried dpkg-deb, build, etc, etc and I still get these errors.) These are the errors: $ grep -n ] Error *.messages 19421:make[5]: *** [resource.o] Error 1 19754:make[5]: *** [xrdb.o] Error 1 19940:make[6]: *** [main.o] Error 1 19942:make[5]: *** [dix] Error 2 21692:make[4]: *** [resource.o] Error 1 22113:make[4]: *** [xrdb.o] Error 1 22205:make[5]: *** [main.o] Error 1 22207:make[4]: *** [dix] Error 2 25271:make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1 $ gcc -c -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -ansi -pedantic-I../.. -I../../exports/inclu de -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE =500L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DBINDIR=\/usr/X11R6/bin\ -DXDMDIR=\/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm\ -DUSESHADOW -DUNIXCONN -DTCPCONN -DGREET_USER_STATIC -DFRAGILE_DEV_MEM -DOSMAJORVERSION=2 -DOSMINORVERSION=2'-DDEF_SERVER_LINE=:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0' '-DXRDB_PROGRAM=/usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb' '-DDEF _SESSION=/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls' '-DDEF_USER_PATH=:/bin:/usr/b in:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/ucb' '-DDEF_SYSTEM_PATH=/etc:/bin:/usr/bin :/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/ucb' '-DDEF_SYSTEM_SHELL=/bin/sh' '-DDEF_FAILSAFE_CLIENT=/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm' '-DDEF _XDM_CONFIG=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config' '-DDEF_CHOOSER =/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/chooser' '-DDEF_AUTH_DIR=/usr/X11R6/li b/X11/xdm' '-DDEF_GREETER_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/libXdmGreet .so' resource.c gcc.real: local: No such file or directory gcc.real: :0: No such file or directory resource.c:0: unterminated string or character constant resource.c:0: possible real start of unterminated constant resource.c:0: unterminated string or character constant resource.c:0: possible real start of unterminated constant make[5]: *** [resource.o] Error 1 gcc -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -ansi -pedantic-I../.. -I../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=50 0L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DC PP=\/lib/cpp -traditional -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSI X_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT \ -DH AS_MKSTEMP -c xrdb.c -o xrdb.o gcc.real: : No such file or directory xrdb.c:0: unterminated string or character constant xrdb.c:0: possible real start of unterminated constant In file included from ../../exports/include/X11/Xos.h:149, from xrdb.c:47: /usr/include/unistd.h:208: macro or `#include' recursion too deep /usr/include/unistd.h:209: macro or `#include' recursion too deep /usr/include/unistd.h:212: macro or `#include' recursion too deep /usr/include/unistd.h:213: macro or `#include' recursion too deep In file included from ../../exports/include/X11/Xos.h:149, from xrdb.c:47: /usr/include/unistd.h:860: macro or `#include' recursion too deep xrdb.c:975: macro or `#include' recursion too deep xrdb.c:975: macro or `#include' recursion too deep xrdb.c:976: macro or `#include' recursion too deep xrdb.c:1279: macro or `#include' recursion too deep xrdb.c:1279: macro or `#include' recursion too deep xrdb.c:1351: macro or `#include' recursion too deep xrdb.c:1351: macro or `#include' recursion too deep make[5]: *** [xrdb.o] Error 1 gcc -c -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -ansi -pedantic -I../include -I../../../exports /include/X11 -I../../../include/fonts -I../../../include/extensions -I../../.. -I../../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSI X_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -DSHAPE -DXINPUT -DXKB -DLBX -DXAPPGROUP -DXCSECURITY -DDPMSExtension -DPIXPRIV -DGCCU SESGAS -DSTATIC_COLOR -DAVOID_GLYPHBLT -DPIXPRIV -DXFreeXDGA -DNDEBUG -DFUNCP ROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DVENDOR_STRING=\The XFree86 Project, Inc\ -DVENDOR_ RELEASE=3320 main.c gcc.real: XFree86: No such file or directory gcc.real: Project,: No such file or directory gcc.real: Inc: No such file or directory main.c:0: unterminated string or character constant main.c:0: possible real start of unterminated constant make[6]: *** [main.o] Error 1 make[6]: Leaving directory

Re: Problem when compiling X-Programs
I am trying to compile X-Programs, but I cannot link them. I get always the
messages libraries Xaw, Xmt not found.
This arise when I try to compile the last version of X-Board, but I have all
these libraries installed in /usr/X11R6/lib.
I'll answer this one several times:
-direct answer:
Add -L/usr/X11R6/lib to the gcc commandline when linking (the last
stage)
-somewhat more complete answer:
Most X programmes come with an Imakefile, that is used to generate
a Makefile that is tailored to the local system with the xmkmf command,
that knows excactly where all libraries/headerfiles/whatever are
on the local system. Your best bet is to check if your app
has an Imakefile, and if it does, run xmkmf. This
(on any Debian system, anyway) will generate an Makefile that
knows correctly where the X libs are.
-YetAnotherAnswer:
Doesn't debian have an X-Board package (GNU something?).
In that case, simply get the xboard files from your debian mirror,
run dpkg-source -x xboard*.dsc, cd to the sourcedir, and run
./debian/rules build. This _should_ do everything correctly,
and if not, file a bug report against the Xboard pacakge.
