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.
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?
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

Isn't xfree86 4.3 supposed to work "out of the box" on a debian build
system?
Hi,
you are using the unstable developer snapshot of xfree.
As far as I know debian-x-team is working on xfree4.3.0 for sid.
The developer snapshots are not specially made for debian systems.
Perhaps I can help:
I also needed xfree4.3.99 for my 17" power book. (NVidia GeForce4 440
GO 64M)
It took me about 1 week till I was able to build debian packages.
I took the diff-file from 4.3.0 and combined it with the sources
from 4.3.99-pre10 (later versions [pre11, pre12] were not compiling
properly on my machine)
The sources and packages are available via ftp from ftp.ppcnux.de:
ftp://ftp.ppcnux.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.debian.de/xfree86/dists/sid/binary-
powerpc/
Regards,
Martin
