Read Building XFree86 before trying to rebuild XFree86 from the source distribution.
You may then issue a
make World
to compile XFree86. After a few hours (and hopefully a successful build of the XFree86 system) you can install the software using
make install
You must be logged in as super-user (root) when you invoke `make install'. Be sure to set your environment to use the same compiler (LynxOS 2.3.0/2.4.0, CYGNUS GNU-C) as you did during the `make World'. To install the LinkKit use
make install.linkkit
With LynxOS 2.2.1 programs will not be stripped during installation. This is due to a problem with the strip program which shows up when installing across file system boundaries.
Refer to section Installing XFree86 manual pages for manual page installation.
On LynxOS AT 2.5.0 you may encounter problems with make
in
deeply nested subdirectories (eg core dumps, hangups). In this case
update to GNU make version 3.75 or higher.
