trouble installing X


Hi,
I'm trying to install X on my Slack10.1 machine. I downloaded the sources, but found no install instructions. There's no configure script, just some Imkaefiles. I checked on the Xorg website but didn't get any help. Has someone installed X from source here? Please help.

I installed it from the src-single package. I did "make world" and then "make install". Slack current has the latest xorg, so why don't you install that.

Thanks for the help guys. Actually I'm trying to setup a LFS system, that's why I'm building from source.

If you don't know how to compile an application and it comes with Slackware, you can take a look at the buildscripts.
