See, that's the problem: I'm already using this script, and it does not include enough. Even if I remove that PKG_MINIMAL (or whatever it was, I don't have the script at hand), it actually fails to put the package together because some of the core libraries (.a) aren't being built for some reason, iirc; I'll work on it some more later tonight if I have time. > >Can anyone put together a list of what libraries must be upgraded?

Perhaps we need to produce binary snapshots for each driver that includes only the device-specific stuff (kinda like what dripkg.sh does now) and then have a separate snapshot for the libraries (particularly the GL libraries) which you unpack over the driver snapshot, i.e. if you have an r200 on linux-i386, you'd get r200-20021003-linux-i386.tar.bz2 and libs-20021003-linux-i386.tar.bz2; untar the r200 tarball, then the libs tarball; and then proceed to install as usual. (I don't see anything in http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ that looks like it might be extra libraries.) -- Andy Dustman PGP: 0x930B8AB6 @ .net http://dustman.net/andy "Cogito, ergo sum." -- Rene Descartes "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam." -- Popeye ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
