Setting up a 3.3.6 Build Environment



okay,

	so, i've got Debian 2.1r4.  Basically, I installed (from an ISO CD I
burned) the base system with compilers, etc ...

	So, I'm trying to set up an XFree86 3.3.6 Build environment, so I
downloaded the 336 tarballs (I like to build things myself and put them in
/usr/local/...).

	Unfortunately, when I build XFree86, It only builds the servers and a
couple of other things.  Most notably, a lot of the critical files that make
X run don't get built and installed, such as:

	- Xwrapper (I can't run as non-super user)
	- xf86config (I can't configure the server!!)
	- XF86Setup.

	I haven't had this problem on FreeBSD or NetBSD, but for some reason, half
the critical stuff just isn't getting done under Debian.

	Any idea what it takes to get this stuff FULLY building?  I'm installing it
in /usr/local/X11R6.  I installed 8.3 tcl and tk stuff, and they put some
things in /usr/local/lib, as far as I can tell.  Am i missing something
else?

	Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated -- I've tried a bajillion
different avenues on this one to no avail ...

	marc.
