hi -
i just went through building the kdrive xserver using the
xserver-inst.sh script from the website. it all worked okay,
with a couple of minor exceptions:
- the fetch and build of RecordExt is missing. perhaps
this is a new dependency.
- i had trouble with the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. using
the supplied syntax didn't work for me:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/fdo/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
i don't know if this was because PKG_CONFIG_PATH was initially
empty, and pkg_config doesn't like the dangling ':' on the end,
or whether my pkg_config (version 0.15.0) is simply different.
simply using this form:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/fdo/lib/pkgconfig"
worked fine.
i'm bcc'ing seth klein, who seems to be responsible for the wiki
page and the script...
