(resent - original did not have a question mark and was probably dismissed as a HOWTO)
I am wondering how I can simply recompile my neomagic driver, and copy it into my system without recompiling all of X ? Hardware: Toshiba Libretto 100ct Kernel: 2.4.20 with pcmcia in-kernel, using pcmcia-cs 3.1.26 XFree86: 4.1.0 Slackware 8.0 (very default install) I have a patch that will allow using my margi "dvd to go" zoomed video cardbus card and display the video on-screen. The README for this patch tells me: 3. How to apply this patch cd xc/program/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/neomagic patch -p1 -s < neomagic.diff make make install When I do this, I get no errors from patch - so the patch seems to work - it should, since the patch was written for XFree96-4.1.0, and I am using it on the 4.1.0 source tree - so all is well, I suppose. However, there is no Makefile, only an Imakefile - so the next step is to run xmkmf, which succeeds and outputs: imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config so now I have a Makefile - and I continue following the instructions and run `make`. But make bombs out with: neo_driver.c:40: xf86.h: No such file or directory neo_driver.c:41: xf86_OSproc.h: No such file or directory neo_driver.c:42: xf86_ansic.h: No such file or directory neo_driver.c:45: compiler.h: No such file or directory neo_driver.c:47: xf86Resources.h: No such file or directory neo_driver.c:50: xf86PciInfo.h: No such file or directory neo_driver.c:53: xf86Pci.h: No such file or directory ... and so on ... presumably bombing for every .h specified in neo_driver.c and every file included from it. ---------- So here are the two questions: 1. Why is the make failing ? I don't think it is a problem with X or the patch or anything, I think it is a general "I have very little experience compiling things" error and I think I am just missing a path or something... 2. Is this scheme a sound one ? Note that I am not reinstalling or even recompiling X, I am just patching the neomagic driver and then running `make ; make install` (I checked, the Makefile does have an install rule) ... do I then just start X and I will be using a patched neomagic driver ? Any additional comments appreciated.
