Xorg manual & reference
Hi all,
I am trying to compile Xorg6.x. i downloaded the source, extract but dont get any reference what is actually inside, how to configure it. I am trying to compile it, but dont have a clear idea how to setup it. as far as i understand until now. I can do the configuration using the config/cf/host.def file. but i dont have also basic in Xwindow system. i try to read the config/cf/xorgsite.def (which said could be taken as host.def) but dont understand it. so any good complete reference? i try to google it but nothing helps, and also look for books about x windows in amazon. but it seems they are quite outdate (199x). is it still reasonable to try read those book to get the basic understanding? thanks, |
You might check out any of the older BLFS books (the ones before moving to modular X).

Hi,
so i have been trying for the last couple of days to compile it. i manage to know that the configuration should be done in config/cf/host.def file. but one question is what options are available to put in there, i mean what #define mascors can i put inside the config/cf/host.def file? is it the one in the config/cf/README file? because some of the options used in the BLFS example are not writen there. since i am developing an embedded sysem i use these macros: #define HasZlib NO #define HasFreetype2 NO #define HasFontconfig NO #define HasExpat NO the compilation went well until the error saying that my cross compiler ld cannot find the -lncurses. that means i need to have ncurses library right? but i look in the directory extras/ and there is no ncurses package available as the other package (zlib, freetype, etc.) so any other reference to do it? thanks, |
