In an attempt to do an end-run around my problems with the binary install, I figured I'd just compile from source.
It's a laptop with a 3/4 full 1G hard drive, so I opted to only install the first 3 .tar.gz files, and will do the fonts later, if there is room.
That *IS* kosher, right?... The instructions make it sound like you can do 1,2,3 if you already HAVE the fonts, and kinda imply you can just live without the fonts, but not really 100% clear to my poor brain...
I followed the instructions and copied [mumble] to host.def (?) down in that xc/.../conf/ directory thingie, and then changed the line about "NoFont" to be #define'd or took out the comments or something like that... So I took lousy notes, but I probably did the right thing here for compiling only 1, 2, 3 with no fonts, pre-supposing that's kosher in the first place.
The compiler chugs away for hours and hours, and then pukes on (or right after) messing with "common_x86_asm.i" in the "xc/lib/GL/mesa/src/X86" directory:
/usr/bin/cpp -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -D__ELF__ -DMALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL -DGLXEXT -DXF86DRI -DGLX_DIRECT_RENDERING -DGLX_USE_DLOPEN -DGLX_USE_MESA -DUSE_X86_ASM -DUSE_MMX_ASM -DUSE_3DNOW_ASM -I../../../../../exports/include -I../../../../../include/extensions -I../../../../../extras/Mesa/src -I../../../../../extras/Mesa/src/X86 -I../../../include common_x86_asm.S | \
grep -v '^\#' > common_x86_asm.i
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/cpp: No such file or directory
Now is this /bin/sh complaining that there is no /usr/bin/cpp file? Or is it /usr/bin/cpp complaining that some other un-named file is missing? Or what? It's not real clear in the error message.
Since there is no /usr/bin/cpp on this box, I'm betting on the first interpretation. But error messages should not be subject to interpretation :-)
I tried some obvious things, such as just doing "make" in that directory, and starting all over with "make clean" and "make distclean" and got the same results.
Tried it with the WORLDOPTS= thing, and I think I may have tried "Everything" instead of "World"... No, wait. I didn't try that yet. Sorry.
I even did a Hail Mary and sym-linked the non-existent /usr/bin/cpp (?) to my /usr/bin/gcc, since, like, GCC is a c-plus-plus compiler, right? and I can use it instead, right?...
There's certainly no way I'm going to be able to squeeze much more on this box... And I suspect a whole 'nother cpp compiler is out of the question.
[naive rambling -- skip three paragraphs]
Is there some way to, errr, compile remotely? By which I mean get all the ~/xc/* files (1-7, not just 1-3) over on some other box with a bigger hard drive, convince my laptop to compile/configure and auto-detect my hardware, while chugging away with the source and .o and .a and .so files all over on the remote box, and then just copy over the final binaries on "make install"
I realize that's the opposite of cross-compiling, but I don't think I could handle cross-compile anyway, and X seems like it would be awfully hardware-dependent sooner or later for video drivers and whatnot, so I'd just as soon those decisions were being made on the final destination box. But maybe that's just software engineering voodoo :-)
But pointing the compiler at an xc tree on some other box and giving it a username/password with write permissions via FTP or something I could handle. Sure it would take forever, but it's not like I sit there and watch the lines scroll by for fun anyway.
Meanwhile, back at reality ranch... Hoping for a solution to THIS compile problem...
The ENTIRE log is available on-line if you care to download a 1.6M file, and a gzipped version (143K), and the same as what you see here as the .tail file:
http://www.l-i-e.com/xfree86/
This is the last 50 lines -- probably more then you need, but I figured some extra context wouldn't hurt.
Oh, and RedHat 6.2 on a Canon Innova Book 490 CDT if that is relevant. Current stable X source as of a few days ago.
THANKS!!! I've used XFree on several boxes over the years and love it, but installation and ModeLines always take me forever.
