While I only recently discovered the -l option to build.sh, I find it immensly helpful in building a set of protos and libraries for various architectures/processors in a build root. The alternative is near verbose a setup as building and installing every library and proto from git manually, which is what I was doing prior to discovering this option.
On a more general note, this makes it more difficult for someone to begin working with the X codebase, as they may be focused on a single driver or the xserver/DDXs themselves, building able to install all of the prerequesites in one go is of great utility. My use case: I am building X for an arm processor, including all of the libraries it requires in a static configuration in a tree under /opt -- tmzt _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
