xmakefile


After installing lfs 6.1 using the livecd I tried to
install X following instr in BLFS book. Installed de-
pendencies (expat, freetype, etc.) and got as far as
page 508, where the recommended build command failed
with "Error 2", complaining about can't find xmakefile.
I found a reference to xmakefile in the xc directory
Makefile but don't know how to make it work. Any help
much appreciated.

xorg-compile.log

for more info on this query, here is log file with errors.


Building Release 6.8.2.

I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.

try removing the build and source directories and start afresh.
pay special attention to the host.def file. I've built it 3 or 4 times and I never had any problems.
