How to build entirety of Xorg 7.4 from source

[Florian Lier]

Hey JD,

there's a little script on the Xorg / git development site.

http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/git

You can copy and paste the script into a myxorgscript.sh (chmod +x it )
You can start building X like that (in console): sh myxorgscript init | 
build | update

Depending on what distri you're using you'll need a bunch of dependencies.
If you're on Ubuntu I can help you out...


DEPS="\autoconf automake xserver-xorg-dev libdrm-dev build-essential 
libxxf86vm-dev libxdamage-dev libxfixes-dev libxfixes3 expat 
libexpat-dev libtool autobook \
libxinerama1 libxinerama-dev libxkbfile-dev libxkbfile1 openssl 
libssl-dev xkbsel x11-xkb-utils libxfont1 libxfont-dev git-core gawk

libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler gperf xmlto libglut3-dev freeglut3-dev \

(this is if you want to build compiz too)


I hope this helps.
