Problem on installing Xorg
 

Hi folks,

FC3 Host
BLFS 6.1

Xorg
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...ling.html#xorg

X11R6.8.2-src.tar.bz2
MD5 sum: 8131cd7ea1e4566e6e05c438a93fcfe1
# md5sum /mnt/lfs/sources/X11R6.8.2-src.tar.bz2
8131cd7ea1e4566e6e05c438a93fcfe1 /mnt/lfs/sources/X11R6.8.2-src.tar.bz2
8131cd7ea1e4566e6e05c438a93fcfe1

MD5sum found matched.

On chroot environment installed dependencies first
Libpng-1.2.8
Fontconfig-2.3.2
FreeType-2.1.10
Expat-1.95.8

All went throught without problem

Fontconfig Dependencies
installing FreeType-2.1.10 and expat-1.95.8 also went through without problem

Optional - Linux-PAM-0.80 Not installed
Expat Dependencies Optional "Check " not installed.

Steps performed :-

root:/sources$ tar jxf X11R6.8.2-src.tar.bz2
root:/sources$ cd xc
root:/sources/xc$ sed -i '/^SUBDIRS =/s/ etc$//' programs/Xserver/Xprint/Imakefile
root:/sources/xc$ pushd config/util &&
> make -f Makefile.ini lndirPlease advise how to fix the problem. TIA

Hi folks

Further to my fist posting. Referring to the Notes on building LFS 6.1
6.14. GCC-3.4.3
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...ter06/gcc.html

following 2 steps found left out
ln -s ../usr/bin/cpp /lib
ln -s gcc /usr/bin/cc

To retain space GCC-3.4.3 source and build directories already removed.

On running following commands I found;
# find /mnt/lfs/ -name gcc -type d# find /mnt/lfs/ -name cppCan I do the missing commands on chroot environment by running;

and

OR
TIA

Hi,

I don't exactly remember how makefile is done for Xorg, but you can probably set a CC environnement variable, for example do: export CC=/mnt/lfs/usr/bin/gcc
And I know that it's a bit less comfortable, but I suggest you to compile Xorg from LFS, I mean boot LFS and compile Xorg... 'cause I've tried to do a lot of compilation in chroot environnement when I've built my LFS and I remember to have had a lot of problems when I've tried to compile Xorg from chroot whereas I've got nearly no problems when I've compiled it from LFS

Hi Oliv,

Tks for your advice.

I'm preparing my way to boot LFS 6.1 and to install BLFS 6.1 packages thereafter. But I need to intall following packages on chroot environment first;

Xorg
lynx
PPP-2.4.3
WvDial-1.54.0
RP-PPPoE-3.5
GTK+-1.2.10
GTK+-2.6.7
Firefox

so that the LFS 6.1 box can be connected to Internet and I don't need to print the BLFS 6.1 book and to download all packages before start OR buring the packages on CDs as advised by a folk on forum.

Whether run this command on chroot OR on the Host as root.

I may try those commands listed on my 2nd posting, if faiing then moving the symbolic links. But I'm worrying whether there is any inverted side effect.

In fact, enter chroot environnement and do:Note that I've use bacquotes ;)
you can try echo $CC to check that something is assigned to CC variable :)

Hi Oliv,

I have to install 'which' command first.

root:/sources$ export CC=`which gcc`
bash: which: command not found

Maybe I can run it on the Host, i.e. exit chroot

Oooops I forgot this detail :p
Well gcc is probably in /usr/bin so type: Oliv'

Hi Oliv' ,

I solved my problem as follow;

In chroot environment
root:/$ ln -s gcc /usr/bin/cc (no printout)
root:/$ ls -l /usr/bin/cc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2005-08-19 06:16 /usr/bin/cc -> gcc

Xorg-6.8.2
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...ling.html#xorg

went through without problem except the last step as follow;
root:/sources/xc/config/xcbuild$ ls"../xc" may not find it. I think full path "/sources/xc" may find it. Any suggestion to fix this last step.

Problem solved
 

Hi folks,

Last problem now solved. Because I missed running "popd". Tks.

Xorg installation error
 

hi
i install Xorg from lfs and from red hat both but when i write command

make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc -f Makefile.linux



it say



kernel.config file not found

:confused:
That's not the way we compile Xorg... Have you follow this step by step document: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...ling.html#xorg to install Xorg ???
Moreover, I'm not sure that Xorg will compile with gcc-2.95...

hi
oliv

thanks for your reply.
actually i am building lfs 5.1 the link you give is installation of Xorg lfs6.1 can it work for lfs 5.1 having Xorg 6.7.0 and i m using blfs 5.1
i m waiting for your reply
bye
bye

Hi,

Well if you install Xorg6.8.2 it will work whatever the distribution you have... Now as you want to install Xorg-6.7.0, I think that it should work 'cause the procedure has not changed between 6.7.0 and 6.8.2 version
Bye

Same error occurs oliv
 

hi
oliv
i used your referenced manual but,
when i write command


cd programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel &&
make -f Makefile.linux &&
mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ &&
cp gamma.o radeon.o sis.o r128.o i810.o i830.o mga.o tdfx.o \
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ &&
depmod -a


same error occur
kernel config file not found.
plz tell me how to remove this beautiful error

bye
bye

Re: Same error occurs oliv
 

If you compile it from the host, your current distro it wont work because the host machine has a other kernel.

ps: What I did was a litle hack, I copied the kernel from LFS to the /boot from my SuSE 9.3 and the /lib/modules to my host Distro and added a line to the grub so I boot with the LFS kernel on my SuSE distro and then compiled Xorg so I have the exact same kernel, when I did that I removed the kernel and modules and the line in grub.conf.

You als have to copy the .config file from the compiled kernel to the /boot partition.
If you have followed the book then it should work if not.
Then you have to recompile the LFS kernel and copy the .config file to the boot directory.
