I've been reworking the FreeBSD configuration file for XFree86 3.9.17. At
the moment, I've only done Intel. (Don't despair Alpha folks -- I'll get
myself a Compaq testdrive account :-))
This file is a drop-in replacement for 'xc/config/cf/FreeBSD.cf' You don't
need any 'xc/config/cf/host.def' file. Just cp and make World [1] It
works on both 4.0-CURRENT and 3.4-STABLE. [2] If you could give it a go,
and correct me on any incorrect definitions/switches/whatever I'd be very
grateful.
Sadly, there's a couple of gotchas. First, it won't actually compile
_everything_ using the base compiler (gcc 2.95.2). This is due to a bug in
this version of gcc. To fix this, remove the -O2 option in the Makefile of
the affected module.
Secondly, XF86Setup is broken in this version of XFree86. No XF86Setup
will be built by this config file. More news on that as it happens.

/*
---- [ WHAT THIS IS ] --------------------------------------------------
This file is intended to replace the
xc/config/cf/FreeBSD.cf
file in the XFree86 3.9.17 distribution. You don't need a host.def file
or need to make any changes to the stock XFree86 3.9.17 tarballs [but see
below] This will let you build XFree86 on 3.4-STABLE and 4.0-CURRENT. I
don't know if it works on earlier FreeBSD 3.x versions.
To use this file, copy it right over the current 'config/cf/FreeBSD.cf'
file and type 'make World' in the 'xc' directory.
cp xc/config/cf/FreeBSD.cf xc/config/cf/FreeBSD.cf.original
cp FreeBSD-gjvc.cf xc/config/cf/FreeBSD.cf
cd xc && make World
I've also futzed around with #defines, C library features and goodness
knows what else, so if you have any opinions on what follows I'd be
grateful.
---- [ KNOWN PROBLEMS ] -----------------------------------------------
3.4-STABLE : No reported problems yet -- be first! :-)
4.0-CURRENT : Using the system compiler (2.95.2), compilation of the
files
xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/xf86vmode.c
xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/extmod/xf86vmode.c
will fail with a 'Unable to generate reloads' error. This is a bug in
gcc, and has been fixed in the latest gcc snapshot. Either disable all
optimisation for the compilation of just that file, or use a later
version of the compiler. (Hint: do a make World, and then a make all --
the compilation will stop here and you can remove the '-O2' flag in the
Makefile.)
XFree86 3.9.17 : the directory xc/doc/ is strangely missing an Imakefile,
and consquently the build fails on it. I got my documents by using the
documents directory of XFree86 3.9.16. XF86Setup is currently broken in
3.9.17 so no attemp is made to build it.
Anyway, please give it a go, and let me know how you get on. All
feedback is appreciated. :-)
---- [ GIVING FEEDBACK ] ---------------------------------------------
Please include the output of 'uname -a', and 'gcc --version' when
reporting problems.
