Hi,
I recently bought the cheapbytes debian 2.1 CD's. Because the computer
that I am using at the moment is a P-60, there is a strong urgency to
tweak every last bit of speed out of my system.
I decided to recompile my x-server and libraries in order to eek a bit
more speed
out of X, by using pentium optimisations ( I used pentium-builder
package. )
However, when I have unpacked the x source and diff (revision 11), and
do dbuild, after many hours, dbuild quits with errors. (the whole error
log
is something like 2.5 MB so I have extracted relevant bits :-) )
(I have also tried dpkg-deb, build, etc, etc and I still get these
errors.)
These are the errors:

Build finished at 13:44 on 1999-05-03
Build FAILED
Any idea what is going wrong and what I can do about it? I am pretty
sure that it is nothing to do with having pentium-builder installed,
because without DEBIAN_ARCHITECTURE=pentium set, it still refuses to
build.
The versions of libraries etc. that I have on my system are the standard
slink ones, straight off the CD, no messing.
If the problem is with the source code, can anybody verify that a more
recent version will compile with stock slink?
cheers for anybody's help,
frankie
P.S. Is it possible to just build one package out of a multi package
source archive? (like e.g. xlib6g and xserver-svga? Part of the reason
it takes so long to build is that it is building the libc5 and assorted
servers (which I don't want) packages.
I HAVE read the man pages + docs about dpkg-deb, build, etc. etc. but
there is a case of a) two much information for me too take in at once,
and b) too many different sets of docs to read. I suppose, given a long
while to read it and ponder it over, I would be able to make sense of
it, but I don't have the time, plus debian-users is just a few
keystrokes away :-)
