"Any day now" X-modular (xorg-x11-7.0-xx) will be unmasked. I have |
| 5 |
attached a few notes aimed at sparc users (or at anyone who requires |
| 6 |
(mod 64) address alignment for 64-bit data items.) I believe the note to |
| 7 |
be accurate, but I do not warrant it against defects, omissions, etc. (so |
| 8 |
to speak). It is also available on-line at: |
| 9 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/files/X-modular.sparc-upgrade |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Reason for this sparc-specific is contained in point -6- in the note. |
| 12 |
There is a bug in the xorg-server build (see |
| 13 |
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5622 for details) which |
| 14 |
necessitates use of an extra CFLAG --- -D__GLX_ALIGN64 --- when building |
| 15 |
xorg-x11-7.0-xx. (This is not strictly correct. By chance, you might |
| 16 |
not need this extra -D... added to your CFLAGS. But if you do need it and |
| 17 |
do not add it, the end result will be very unpleasant for you.) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If you don't run xorg-x11 keyworded ~sparc, you may safely discard this |
| 20 |
email before reading. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Hope this is useful (and mostly correct), |
| 23 |
Regards, |
| 24 |
