Hi, I have multiple alpha systems, and unfortunately as it turns out must compile Xfree86 from source, due to the fact that the official alpha packages of debian do not currently have my video card supported, yet support exists according to the xfree86.org website I have not been able to fin

Could anyone offer any advice or pointers as for how to custom compile xfree86 as a debian package? I want to compile using egcc and only include support for the video driver that I need (trying to make it a bit leaner). Also, I want the libraries to be "thread-safe" because apparently the defau

Hi, I have been working on building XFree86, though the version on the CD's I think just before yours. After some time comsuming experimentation (it's big!) and finding libraries I did not have -dev versions of (joystick and libz), I found the following sequence to work for me: cd "wherever" dpk

Hi there, I've got the xfree86_3.3.2.3.orig.tar.gz and xfree86_3.3.2.3-1.diff files. I'm trying to compile my own Xfree86 to a) use PGCC 1.1b optimizations and b) compile XTT (X TrueType) into it hopefully. I unpack the .tar.gz file, apply my patches succesfully, and run debian/rules binary I
