ok Kito, I know you, and for those whom I do not recognize, on the IRC |
55 |
channel I am lost626. I know I have talked to a ReJ and an R2D2, and |
56 |
robinp, but I think I may be forgetting a couple. I have tentatively |
57 |
recruited a friend of mine to help who is just waiting for prefix |
58 |
support in portage to use it. He is the one (genious) who "broke me in" |
59 |
and "taught me the ropes" on the GNOME 2.10 fink port. He also figured |
60 |
out how to hardcode some libraries in the pango package to get it to |
61 |
compile right. |
62 |
|
63 |
As for XDarwin It is my X11 of choice on OS X. As for getting it to |
64 |
compile, there is no configure phase that I know of, so Lina, I am |
65 |
confused there. actually the only time I have built it in a package |
66 |
manager is yesterday on fink, where I just modified the package to make |
67 |
-j3 World. otherwise I have done it myself with make World and sudo |
68 |
make install, so I don't know what the problem with it would be. |
69 |
|
70 |
And I am thinking it may be a compiler error because I have found a few |
71 |
gcc4 patches for xorg, and I have also built the same version of xorg on |
72 |
jaguar with gcc3.3. I tried compiling it myself without changing my gcc |
73 |
select to 3.3 and as I stated there was no startx actions when run, and |
74 |
no /Applications/XDarwin.app produced. I double checked the fink |
75 |
package and even that has a gcc select 3 call in it, so that further |
76 |
reinforced my thinking of it being a problem with gcc4. Though XDarwin |
77 |
will most likely be easy I would only like to do it if no one else can, |
78 |
or has a faster computer, since in OS X it takes me 7 hours or more to |
79 |
compile it. I think I might be out of developing for OS X for a couple |
80 |
days as I am working on a few Linux From Scratch systems, just to get |
81 |
the real nitty gritty on a unix type platform. |
82 |
|
83 |
I am also inclined to wait for the next release for prefix support which |
84 |
opens up a few new tricks that I am familiar with. Also Tony asked me, |
85 |
and I would like to know if there is an experimental portage out there |
86 |
that has prefix support in it, that we could compile and play with, and |
87 |
if not when the next release is due. |
