Readme for the XFree86 3.1.2 LinkKit The XFree86 Project, Inc. 7 July 1995 1. Readme for the XFree86 3.1.2 LinkKit 1. For systems which don't use gcc-2, you may need to install libgcc.a if the binary distribution you are using was built with gcc-2. 2. Make sure that you have the XFree86 3.1.2 libraries installed under /usr/X11R6 if you will be linking Xnest with the LinkKit. The LinkKit is now self-contained for the other servers. 3. Edit the xf86site.def file to define which servers you want to build, and the drivers and extensions you want included. o Set HasGcc and HasGcc2 to match the compiler you are using if the defaults aren't correct. o If the LinkKit was built with gcc-2.x and you are using some other compiler, you must install libgcc.a and set NeedLibGcc to YES. o To build the 256 colour server: set XF86SVGAServer to YES. o To build the 16 colour server: set XF86VGA16Server to YES. o To build the monochrome server: set XF86MonoServer to YES. o To build the S3 server: set XF86S3Server to YES. o To build the Mach8 server: set XF86Mach8Server to YES. o To build the Mach32 server: set XF86Mach32Server to YES. o To build the Mach64 server: set XF86Mach64Server to YES. o To build the P9000 server: set XF86P9000Server to YES. o To build the AGX server: set XF86AGXServer to YES. o To build the ET4000/W32 server: set XF86W32Server to YES. o To build the IBM 8514/A server: set XF86I8514Server to YES. o To build the Xnest server: set XnestServer to YES. o Set XF86SvgaDrivers to the list of drivers you want to include in the SVGA server. o Set XF86Vga16Drivers to the list of drivers you want to include in the 16 colour server. o Set XF86Vga2Drivers to the list of drivers you want to include in the monochrome vga server. o Set XF86MonoDrivers to the list of non-vga mono drivers you want to include in the mono or VGA16 servers (when building dual-headed servers). o Note: the ordering of drivers determines the order in which the probing is done. The `generic' driver should be the last one included in the Mono and VGA16 and SVGA servers because its probe always succeeds. o To include the PEX extension: set BuildPexExt to YES. o To include the X Image Extension: set BuildXIE to YES. o To include the Low Bandwidth X extension: set BuildLBX to YES. o To include the Screen Saver extension: set BuildScreenSaverExt to YES. o If you are building more than one Xserver, uncomment the ServerToInstall line and set it to the name of the Xserver you want to be the default server (i.e., the one that the ``X'' sym-link points to). 4. If you are including a driver that it not part of the standard distribution, make a directory in drivers/vga256 (drivers/vga2 if it is for the VGA2 part of the Mono server, drivers/vga16 if it is for the 16 colour server, or drivers/mono non-VGA part of the Mono and VGA16 servers) and copy either the source or .o file and a suitable Imakefile into that directory. The name of the directory should be the same as the name of the driver (refer to the documentation in the VGADriverDoc directory for more details). 5. To build the Makefile, run ./mkmf 6. Run `make' to link the server(s) as configured. 7. Run `make install' to install the new server(s). 8. Run `make clean' to remove the files that were created by this procedure. 9. If you edit the xf86site.def file and change the selection of servers being built or the drivers included in them, repeat the above procedure. If changing the selection of Xserver extensions being included it is sufficient to run `make Makefile' instead of `./mkmf'. 10. It is possible to see which drivers are included in the Xserver by running it with the `-showconfig' flag. To check which extensions are included, start the Xserver and run `xdpyinfo'. $XConsortium: LinkKit.sgml,v 1.2 95/01/16 13:17:43 kaleb Exp $ Generated from XFree86: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/sgml/LinkKit.sgml,v 3.7 1995/07/12 13:20:41 dawes Exp $ $XFree86: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/LinkKit/README,v 3.10 1995/07/12 15:33:10 dawes Exp $
