During installation, it was unable to install X. It said it couldn't find the packages (e.g. Xnst, Xf100, e.g.). I tried different FTP servers with the same result. I'm now trying to get X running from /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. It comes pretty far. In fact, make completes without any problems. make install however fails when it tries to make the files in works/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/drm/kernel In subdirectories to this dir., there are symlinks to /sys/{$ARCH}/include called "machine". On my Alpha, they have been set to point to /sys/i386/include. I went in and manually fixed this to be /sys/alpha/include. That brings it somewhat further along, but then it fails when it tries to compile lists.c, which is linked in from ../../../linux/drm/kernel. It complains about cast of pointer to integer of different size, e.g. It says the problem is related to drmP.h, which is one of the few files in the bsd/drm/kernel dir. that isn't linked in from linux/drm/kernel (if not the only file). All in all, it seems like the entire build process at this point just forgot that I'm running on an Alpha and tries to complete make install as if it where for an i386. Can I do something about that? Does anyone else have XFree86 4.x up and running on an Alpha, and if so, how did you do it? I tried looking for packages, and found some, but not the server itself it seems... Or have I just overlooked something? - IT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
