A form of the script I used for a complete, fresh install of X-modular |
2 |
on SB1000(2x900) is here: |

http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/files/X-modular.sh |

I have tried to order it so that everything will build (not all |
6 |
dependencies are in place yet); that is why the makefont routines and |
7 |
mesa are built very early. If you try it and something does not build, |
8 |
that is because I still have something in an order which will not work. |
9 |
Probably, I should move all libraries to the top of the build, but I |
10 |
haven't done that yet. I'll play with the order of things as time |
11 |
permits if there is interest in X-modular, but this script seems |
12 |
difficult to use. |
13 |
|
14 |
Note that this is a big install. And, if you don't use mesa, you will |
15 |
have to remove freeglut. |
16 |
|
17 |
Note the problems (and the fix) associated with sunffb. If you don't |
18 |
use sunffb, you will have to look at x11-drivers/ to find the video |
19 |
driver you do use. You will be the first to test it. |

|
21 |
(The reasons for '-vuk' as default are (1) otherwise, some packages will |
22 |
be built more than once; (2) I was installing from a chroot build in |
23 |
which I had already saved a lot of the X-modular suite as binary |
24 |
packages.) |
25 |
|
26 |
Finally, after installing, MAKE SURE to run revdep-rebuild. On my |
27 |
system, it identified 4 packages which needed rebuilding; they did |
28 |
rebuild without incident, and now seem fine. I am running the result of |
29 |
installing these packages (after having run 'emerge -C xorg-x11'), and I |
30 |
have seen no problems so far. (But we're talking 4 hours or so at this |
31 |
point.) |

Comments, problems, other experiences, and so on requested. |
34 |
Have fun and provide feedback, |
