Hello,
I'm trying to build from CVS but I'm seeing something unexpected. The build is trying to link to X libraries outside of the DRI tree itself. In host.def I altered the ProjectRoot variable as so:
/* Optionally turn this on to change the place where you install the build. * Warning: trailing blanks will cause build failures. */ #define ProjectRoot /usr/X11R6-n8dri
When I run make World it tries to do this:
+ gcc -m32 -o ./libGL.so.1.2~ ... blah blah blah ... -L/usr/X11R6-n8dri/lib -lXext -lX11 -ldl -lXxf86vm -lc
I could have sworn this was documented, but I sure couldn't find it. This should be added to the developer's FAQ.
The DRI tree doesn't include all of XFree86. It would be too big and too much work to keep in sync. Because of that a DRI build requires that a bunch of the core X libraries and header files are installed on the system already. The only place that it knows to look for it is in ProjectRoot. If you have XFree86 already installed on your system and want to build to somewhere else, you have to copy your existing tree to the new place. Something like 'cp -a /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-n8dri' should work. I'm not sure off the top of my head what the minimum set of required stuff is.
