Before building the distribution, read through the OS-specific README
file in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc that is relevant to
you. Once those OS-specific details have been taken care of, go your
build directory
(either the xc directory or the shadow tree created before) and
run ``make World'' with the BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS
set as described in the OS-specific README (if necessary, but most
systems supported by XFree86 don't need BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS). It is
advisable to redirect stdout and stderr to World.Log so that you
can track down problems that might occur during the build.
With Bourne-like shells (Bash, the Korn shell, zsh, etc.) use
a command like:
make World > World.log 2>&1
Witch C-shell variants (csh, tcsh, etc), use:
make World >& World.log
You can follow the progress of the build by running:
tail -f World.log
in a terminal.
When the build is finished, you should check World.Log to see
if there were any problems. If there weren't any then you can install
the binaries.
To do
the install, run ``make
install'' and ``make install.man''. Make sure you have enough
space in /usr/X11R6 for the install to succeed. If you want
to install on a filesystem other than /usr, make a symbolic
link to /usr/X11R6 before installing.
