Xorg-6.8.1 won't compile in debian

kushalkoolwal · 02-23-2006, 05:18 PM

Hi guys,

I was trying to compile Xorg-6.8.1 sources on my Debian stable machine. After giving the command Make World, the compilation starts for sometime and then starts giving the following error messages:

debian:~/xc#

On googling I found the following links but they weren't very helpful
http://www.rootboard.de/vb3/showthread.php?p=81536
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=285074

Also, I have done the same procedure successfully on a Fedora 2 installation which had gcc version 3.xx and my current debian has gcc version 3.3.5. Even I think this could be a gcc compiler version issue. Has anyone tried this before?

Also are these error messsage by any chance related to host.def file which we copy in xc/config/cf directory?

I can't use binary version of Xorg available because I am compiling this for a specific purpose and I need help in this regards.

Thank you.

it sure looks like its just not finding the headers for zlib.

lbx_zlib.h:55:18: zlib.h: No such file or directory

have you configured X? The stock config usually doesn't work for me in just about any environment that isn't right out of the box. look at the files in xc/config of the source three that apply to your system.

Thanks for the reply. But how do I install the missing zlib headers..

/bin/bash · 02-25-2006, 05:12 AM

Try:

apt-get install zlib
or
apt-get install lib64z1-dev
or
apt-get install zlib1g-dev

dombrowsky · 02-25-2006, 10:09 PM

or use the source, luke.
