Yes, lots of times. Here a very simeple host.def I use;

#define BuildServersOnly   YES
#define KDriveXServer  YES
#undef BuildRandR
#define BuildRandR YES
#define BuildXInputLib YES
#define ProjectRoot/usr/X11R6
#define Freetype2Dir   $(TOP)/extras/freetype2
#define Freetype2LibDir$(TOP)/exports/lib
#define BuildXTrueType YES
#define TinyXServerYES
#define XfbdevServer   YES

[XFree86] Compiling Kdrive / TinyX

[Jörn Willhöft]

Hi list,

I already posted my problems last Friday, but it seems as if no one was able
to help.

Did ever anyone did succeed in compiling TinyX? If yes, with which exact
configuration?
By now I tried on SuSE Linux with gcc 2.95 and gcc 3.2 and recently on
Slackware 8.1 and gcc 2.95. I attached the original posting with the
detailed difficulties.

Can anyone offer binaries for i386, glibc, Slackware (if that makes a
difference)?

I would greatly appreciate any support.

Cheers,
   Jörn

Subject: [XFree86] KDrive"TinyX" Xvesa does not compile
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi list,

I am trying to compile a Kdrive "Tiny X" XServer from sources. Unfortunately
the build process fails when it is processing the
programs/Xserver/hw/kdrive/vesa directory.

I am not a crack in working with Imake and make, so please excuse me if I
made a stupid mistake ;-)

I downloaded and unpacked the sources of Version 4.2.0.
I also tried 4.0.2 patched to 4.0.3 with the same results.

Using the guide in
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/kdrive.html

I added the following settings to site.def:
(within /* AfterVendorCF */)

#define BuildServersOnly YES
#define KDriveXServer YES
#define TinyXServer YES
#define XvesaServer YES

Because I actually use a Chips & Technologies board I also addidtionaly
tried the following settings, which are nowhere documented (but the
directory "chips" does exist):
#define XchipsServer YES
#define XChipsServer YES

When I "make World", I get lots of errors in the kdrive-subtree (nowhere
else!) because of "asm" directives. So I removed the "-ansi -pedantic"
options in xfree86.cf in the line:
#define DefaultCCOptions -ansi -pedantic GccWarningOptions

Now, the directives are processed, but I get lots of "undefined reference to
'getTimeInMillis'" among other undefined references and the build fails
again.

With the XchipsServer lines I also get errors for "Xchips", without them
only for "Xvesa".
I also tried the "HasGcc2" line in site.def, because I am using gcc version
2.95.3, with the same results. Though, I don't know if I tested every
possible combination.

I am compiling on a SuSe 7.3 system. Make reports the following versions:
Linux 2.4.10-4GB i686 [ELF] (2.4.10)
Linux Distribution: SuSE
libc version: 6.2.4
binutils version: 3.1
GCC version: 2.95

Can anybody offer help? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
  Jörn
