Hi, I have problems with X Windows compile BLFS 6.3, following the steps as stated in this web section:
- Xorg Libraries -
http://www.theskycenter.info/blfs/xorg

Error:
checking for XXF86VM... configure: error: Package requirements (xproto x11 xextproto xext xf86vidmodeproto) were not met:

No package 'x11' found
No package 'xext' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XXF86VM_CFLAGS
and XXF86VM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

That is wrong or I did wrong?

Hi,

I never used or are familiar with the book you are using (I'm seeing this site for the first time), but it seems you have made a mistake, probably when building the Xorg Protocol Headers headers and/or the pkg-config-0.22 step.

Why did you decide to use the BLFS 6.3 book from theskycenter and not the official one: BLFS 6.3?

Anyway, hope this helps.

I follow as much as on that page as in the book is the same except that in this page I think it does a bit and adds a few scripts ordered more, but hey I will try it one more time according to the book. Have if I have the same problems.

Well solves the problem of compilation, the error was in my view the file paths:

cat >build_lib.sh << "EOF"
section=lib
version=7.2
# build packages
for package in $(grep -v '^#' ../${section}-${version}.wget)
do
packagedir=$(echo $package | sed 's/.tar.bz2//')
tar -xf $package
cd $packagedir
case $(basename "$PWD") in

finally compiled
