I was doing some experimentation, so I downloaded the xfree86 code to look it over. I was interested, so I went ahead and made the very minimal changes I wanted in the site.def (I dislike FreeBSD's default of having X installed into /usr/local) and it built perfectly well. It actually took significantly less time to compile than Xorg (the build.sh method I used with Xorg does all that autoconf stuff, takes forever). There are probably faster methods to use for the Xorg build, like, they support jhbuild. Xfree86 only supports imake, which is pretty fast, but a lot of folks find it hard to understand. I understand imake, but can't really track the jhbuild. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkixiNgACgkQz62J6PPcoOmE1ACfW4/2bn+X8twXuXweCLtYi/Zm jSIAn2YRg/WNJ17hCf+kcedNQpt6lUlO =pXh1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
