I meant to note: among the known bugs being fixed is broken support for cross-compiling in a number of the modules. Fixes are in git, so are available for testing. It must be noted that none of the main X.Org developers seem to build in cross-compiled environments ourselves, and no one who cares about cross-compiling seems to be tracking git - the changes that introduced these problems were committed in July, but it was not until the tarballs were published 3 months later that we found out cross-compiling was broken. If you are interested in making sure future software releases from X.Org cross-compile out of the box, or build on a platform other than the ones the core developers build on, it would be in your best interest to occasionally compile the modules you use from git. Even better would be to set up a tinderbox client, so when a failure is introduced, it's brought to our attention right away on http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/ and in our RSS feeds of errors from there. http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Tinderbox has more information on setting up a tinderbox for X.Org. - -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (SunOS) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkzeGFUACgkQovueCB8tEw7uHwCfcH7b9T64Pf1pRTrmSbsnnW4U c0AAnRRnbBWoNMD+alO6xgM8XpPGNs5Z =3ugE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
