Re: Building XFree 4.3
Hi everyone I'm tring to build Xfree 4.3 on my debian system because I
need a patch to the siliconmotion driver that has only been committed in
4.3.99.
I'm trying two separate paths, and I'm stuck in either.
If you send us a diff, we can include it in the next release. Why do you
need this patch?
It's a bug affecting support for an external monitor. You can find more info
(and the patch itself)
at http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727. It could be very handy if
you could backport it ;-)
First I'm trying to build a deb binary package from
xfree86_4.3.0-0pre1v4 source package.
After
$dpkg-source -x xfree86_4.3.0-0pre1v4.dsc
$cd xfree86_4.3.0
trying to extract sources with
$debian/rules source.make
make: *** No rule to make target `source.make'. Stop.
How do I extract the sources to apply the siliconmotion patch?
Try 'debian/rules setup', not source.make; this changed a couple of
releases ago.
ok thanks,I'm kinda new of debian source packages ;-)
but now i get
# debian/rules setup
dh_testdir
/bin/bash: line 1: up-scripts: command not found
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^____ is this ok?
make: [setup] Error 127 (ignored)
/usr/bin/make -f debian/rules stampdir/unpack stampdir/patch
make[1]: Entering directory `xxx/xfree86-4.3.0'
test -d stampdir || mkdir stampdir
[snip]
and if i try
# debian/rules build
i get
gcc -m32 -c -g -O2 -g -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith

Any idea?
Thanks.
