If you send us a diff, we can include it in the next release.

Try 'debian/rules setup', not source.make; this changed a couple of releases ago. > As an alternative path i'm trying to build XFree86-4.3.99.15 from > xfree.org sources but I'm stuck on the following error: > > gcc -m32 -o glxinfo -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing -ansi > -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes > -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations > -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wundef -L../../exports/lib > glxinfo.o -lGLU -lGL -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -lm -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib > /usr/bin/ld: warning: libXxf86vm.so.1, needed by > ../../exports/lib/libGL.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) > ../../exports/lib/libGL.so: undefined reference to `XF86VidModeQueryVersion' > ../../exports/lib/libGL.so: undefined reference to `XF86VidModeGetModeLine' > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[4]: *** [glxinfo] Error 1 > > Isn't xfree86 4.3 supposed to work "out of the box" on a debian build > system? Yes, and it does ... but you're building 4.3.99.15, and you're not using our packages; you're really on your own here. > Also is it really unaivoidable that every single time "make World" cleans > everything and starts building from scratch? I think a straight 'make' will rebuild only what's needed, and that you only need make World the first time. -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian X Strike Force: http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/
