[stsf] Re: [stsf-commit] CVS Update: stsf (branch: )

[Alexander Gelfenbain]

Hi Roland,

1) Yes, the XST part of STSF will be included in the monolithic tree 
(xorg)
    I have already tagged the branch STSF_CURRENT of /cvs/xorg

	We are compiling the tree as I type this message and will commit it
	as soon as the compile is successful.

2) Right now the build process is as follows:

    - you need to check out two modules:
		xc from /cvs/xorg
		stsf from /cvs/stsf

	% cd stsf
	% configure; make; make install

	% cd ../xc
	% make World

	You need to have Python, PyXML and freetype installed on your system
	to compile STSF and the XST tree

	We are testing the build on Solaris x86 right now, (available for free
	from http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/x86/index.html)

	XST should compile on Linux without any problems, however I need
	to make a couple of changes to STSF since I have not
	compiled it on Linux for a long time and ST Font Server got 
significantly
	optimized.

	Solaris version of the ST Font Server uses Solaris doors, which are 
extremely
	fast but not available (yet) for Linux. Linux version of the server
	uses UNIX domain sockets and I am planning to re-write it to use 
shared memory,
	Posix mutexes and conditional variables.
