Hi I have some trouble to compile the Xorg distribution for the sparc-platform. But first I have some general questions about X and sparc:
Is there a Xserver other than Xsun available for sparc? In the build notes I found this: " Also on SPARCs, you may be able to build the old deprecated Xsun* servers ..." This sounds to me that you CAN build the Xsun server, but you don't need to. Then I read Alans weblog and found the following: "Many of those (sources) [...] are not completely compatible drop-in replacements for the Solaris versions, and will not provide an X server usable on SPARC hardware" That sounds to me that there isn't a usable Xserver other than Xsun available and will not be in the next release. Now what is the case??? Now to my build problems: After my first run of the build I installed the built binaries and wondered that there is no Xserver in my /usr/X11R6 directory. So I investigated my World.log and found out that there are some fatal build errors in the Xserver sections. The problem is that he searches for a inline file named sparcv8plus.il which isnt nowhere in the whole tree. But I found a build rule for it in the xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/sunos/Imakefile. Unfortunately I have absolute no experience with the imake system by now. But I think the sparcv8plus.il file should be created before it is used for the compilation. So whats going wrong here? My environment is a clean OpenSolaris System, created only from the proto area, the closed bins and some other needed libraries and programs and of course the Sun Studio compiler. I build a bunch of other programs before, so there should be no problem with this environment. My host.def contains the rule for building the Xsun24 Server. I wouldt be very happy if someone can provide some infos on how I get this thing working Thanks in advance erisch This message posted from opensolaris.org
