Xorg Modular build on FreeBSD 7.0

[Vincent Blondel]

Michel,
Peter,

I made a global answer to you. I hope my problem is more clear now ??
Thanks for your help :-)

I fixed that yesterday, so the git_xorg.sh script should pull the right
one now.

thanks :-)

It would be nice to change /bin/sh with /bin/bash. This would be clear for
BSD people that maybe not know that /bin/sh is most of the time just a
symbolic link to /bin/bash on Linux systems. Furthermore, it is in this
case incompatible with native /bin/sh on FreeBSD platforms but this is not
my current problem and I give you this little warning just for info.

both cases just man pages missing. you'll be fine without them.

I guess that's caused by a wrong automake version. not sure about that
though.

I run ports gnu-autoconf and gnu-automake that respectively use autoconf
2.61 automake 1.10

Not at all I just got the pixman directory and put it on the same level as
xserver. After a little look on the developers page, maybe should I
compile the package in /opt/X11R6 ( same place as the one I use for git
version of X11R6 ). It seems we get two possibilities to compile Mesa x86
or dri but I do not know which one I have to use ?

 make linux-x86 ( freebsd-x86 if that exists ?? )
 make linux-dri ( freebsd-dri if that exists ?? )

Is it possible to put all of them in /opt/X11R6 ( pixman and Mesa ) so I
do not impact my local xorg package version ?

You'll need the mesa GIT master branch to build xserver master for now.

I will make a git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa

Related to manpages as well, could be the same problem as above.

Might need fixing for automake 1.10 or something.

What kind of problem?

I posted a message in the month of June explaining the problem I encounter
( http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-June/025634.html ) so
due the fact it does not work at the moment I returned to previous version
Xorg 6.9. This one does not give me any problem.

Can't you build just xf86-video-ati or mesa first?

I am really interested with last version of Xorg because I would like to
try apps as Beryl and/or Compiz that sould give me nice effects on my
Gnome system.
