The information to build XFree86 is incomplete: You need to separately "make configure" and then edit work/xc/config/cf/xf86site.def to include the line #define UseElfFormat YES There's an example line in that file that just needs to be uncommented. This is due to the fact that I am unaware of a portable way to check if we're on an ELF system. Bear in mind it might be a prehistoric -stable version, so it isn't just a question of `objformat`. cu Jo --------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve Joachim Kuebart Tel: +49 711 653706 Oh god, god...
