Re: using externally built libs (Xcursor, Xrender, Xft)

I don't see how building against an external Xrender/etc works, since those libraries depend on libX11; to avoid a dependency loop, we copy the libraries into the X11 tarball and do various munging. Sorry to be pedantic on you Owen.. ;o) But we do not modify the XFree86 tarball, rather the pristine XFree86 sources (exported from CVS tag) are decompressed, then Xft/Xrender is moved out of the way, and the new Xft/Xrender decompresed into the tree, then our patches are applied. Fixing that isn't really possible without splitting up of main tarball. Yep, but fortunately there is so few applicatioins, etc with dependancies on those libs that it's easily doable IMHO. xterm is already separate upstream. There are a couple others like xditview, xclock, etc. which could be separated out, or in some cases just dropped completely IMHO. Again, sorry to be pedantic.. ;o) Just don't want people to think our XFree tarball isn't pristine. ;o) -- Mike A.

XFree86 has some limited support for using already-installed headers/libraries for some types of builds (like ServersOnly). Does this patch build on that?
