Not at all .. I don't have a point of reference and those CFLAGS were in my .profile ... I just never thought to look at them. I was certainly able to build piles of stuff like that and then thought .. why not? aster $ rm -rf xorg/ aster $ rm -rf /opt/xorg/* aster $ mkdir -p xorg/util aster $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/modular xorg/util/modular Cloning into xorg/util/modular... remote: Counting objects: 2345, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1214/1214), done. remote: Total 2345 (delta 1486), reused 1764 (delta 1125) Receiving objects: 100% (2345/2345), 1.05 MiB | 19 KiB/s, done.

So this is usually the process : 1) look around for a maillist 2) ask really silly questions 3) hopefully get pointed to a README or FAQ or a blog or get told I'm an id10t etc 4) try what I get told or see etc .. flail .. make coffee 5) fail? If success go to (8) 6) ask questions on a mailist in hope ... 7) goto (2) 8) issue many thanks ... learn .. study .. try to figure out what next I am in the (2) <--> (7) loop and making progress ... so this is typical I would say. dc _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
