* Hey folks, * * I've got a question or two on the Xig stuff that maybe somebody here can * help with. * * I've got: * (1) Xig AcceleratedX server * (2) Xig Motif * * Now...I've already seen how the Xaccel server can trash my XFree86 tree so * I can't compile ports anymore. (Instances of "GNUmalloc" seem to have * been sprinkled somewhere in my tree, and I think that happened to * something in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config...but I haven't verified that. * (I'm going on Satoshi's comments claiming this is the case.) * * So, I already have a buggered XF86 tree. Can I fix this by copying the * config/cf/* files from the extracted XFree86 port over that? Yes. Move the old directory out of the way first though, just in case you have something you want to get back. * Also, next I want to install Motif. I have no need for mwm or any of that * stuff, I only want to be able to compile Motif Applications. This is a * two-headed question...(a) Can I just install the development stuff, and No idea if their installation script will let you do this. I recommend you unpack it elsewhere, and just copy the shared libraries and X11/include/Xm. * (b) how do I fix the conf files after this? If you mean how to be able to use ports that require Motif, you don't need to do anything except uncommenting HAVE_MOTIF in /etc/make.conf. (And that's the whole point of our mechanism -- it doesn't depend on any ideas of the "correct" set of macros of a particular vendor....) * I'm asking here rather than Xig because it seems clear that the ports * building machine has found a way around all this. What's the trick? Just don't use their config files, and you'll be happy. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
