Troubles compiling xfree86 4.4.0
 

I am having problems with compoiling xfree86 4.4.0 on MEPIS 2004.06

When I run the make World > World.log 2>&1 command, this is what I end up with.

Can somebody please tell me wtf is going on?

Thanks in advance.

you don't have zlib (or it cannot find it on your system).


Whenever you get alot of undeclared variable errors in a short span look for term "No such file or directory" which in your case here is zlib.h.

I tried running apt-get install zlib before posting. Didn't find anything.

edit: oh, and this is with make install.

do you have pam installed? If you do look for the pam-devel package

edit nvm

Here we go again

It does a bunch of other things with the program text-mode before this happens.

Does this mean I have to install flash player? If so, wtf...

This is with make install btw

Bu8mp

Final bump before I go to bed.

Need to see what it says before KEY_END. Since KEY_END is undeclared it probably means it didn't find another header file that you need.

did MEPIS come with X or are you replacing Xfree?

'Course it did.

Anyways, I ended up having to do a ne install because the damn thing decided it wouldn't boot this morning. So, back to square one.

I looked up a bit higher and noticed I was missing ncurses.

I really should back some of what I'm downloading up.
