Do a "git clone" instead of direct file copying.. If for any reason you want to re-use the stuff you downloaded on first machine, change the git repository base URL in the build script, from freedesktop.org, to the place on your first machine. git is a truly distributed SCM system! > > The problem is: the server doesn't start on the other machine > (which is technically identical to the one which runs the server > successfully). > /var/log/ says: couldn't get lock for > "/home/fl0/mpxsomething/var/log/Xorg.2.log" which actually is a path from the > original machine.

There was some talk of creating a git superproject for all modules, but I don't know if it has happened, and if it helps do this.. ~kammal _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
