I'm trying to update from source - after a programmer informed me I had the most broken build of X he ever came across (~500!). He was right.
Make World >& world.log craps out after 5 seconds with this: cd ./config/makedepend && make -f Makefile.proto bootstrap make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xc/config/makedepend' Makefile.proto:34: <host.def>: No such file or directory Makefile.proto:1201: *** missing `endef', unterminated `define'. Stop. Line 1200 was the last line:-/. I have tried: Searching xfree.org with google, and I came across advice that it was 1. a missing 'endef' 2. endef somewhere instead of 'endif' grep -r yields negative results on 'endef' in ~/xc/* I didn't change any endif statements. I'm running Linux Mandrake 8.0, kernel 2.4.3, gcc-2.96. I did go to RTFM, but when I investigated instructions in |INSTALL_X.org, I was told it's a legacy from the distant past. What is the up-to-date INSTALL instructions? Quote from INSTALL-X.org - 3.6.2: 3.6.2. Other GNU tools Use of the GNU BinUtils assembler, as, and linker, ld, is not supported -- period! If you have them installed on your system you must rename or remove them for the duration of the R6.6 build. (You can restore them afterwards.) Is that real??? What do I use in Linux??? -- Regards, Declan Moriarty Applied Researches - Ireland's Foremost Electronic Hardware Genius A Slightly Serious(TM) Company Experience is like a comb, that Life gives you - AFTER all your hair has fallen out! _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
