1. Readme for the XFree86 3.3.3 LinkKit

  1. For systems which don't use gcc-2, you may need to install libgcc.a if the binary distribution you are using was built with gcc-2.
  2. Make sure that you have the XFree86 3.3.3 libraries installed under /usr/X11R6 if you will be linking Xnest with the LinkKit. The LinkKit is now self-contained for the other servers.
  3. Edit the xf86site.def file to define which servers you want to build, and the drivers and extensions you want included.
  4. If you are including a driver that it not part of the standard distribution, make a directory in drivers/vga256 (drivers/vga2 if it is for the VGA2 part of the Mono server, drivers/vga16 if it is for the 16 colour server, or drivers/mono non-VGA part of the Mono and VGA16 servers) and copy either the source or .o file and a suitable Imakefile into that directory. The name of the directory should be the same as the name of the driver (refer to the documentation in the VGADriverDoc directory for more details).
  5. To build the Makefile, run
      ./mkmf
    
  6. Run `make' to link the server(s) as configured.
  7. Run `make install' to install the new server(s).
  8. Run `make clean' to remove the files that were created by this procedure.
  9. If you edit the xf86site.def file and change the selection of servers being built or the drivers included in them, repeat the above procedure. If changing the selection of Xserver extensions being included it is sufficient to run `make Makefile' instead of `./mkmf'.
  10. It is possible to see which drivers are included in the Xserver by running it with the `-showconfig' flag. To check which extensions are included, start the Xserver and run `xdpyinfo'.
