I have a Debian unstable system (which as you might know is still
using xfree86 4.2) and have been trying to install a parallel 4.3
installation to test out. I got the 4.3.0 release and then unpacked
the 4.3.99.x tarballs on top, added a config/cf/host.def with:
#define ProjectRoot /packages/x/4.3.99.11
#define NothingOutsideProjectRoot YES
and did a 'make World' which went fine. But when I ran 'make
install', I ran into the following problem. In programs/fc-cache:
install -c fc-cache /packages/x/4.3.99.11/bin/fc-cache
if [ x${DESTDIR} = x ]; then set -x; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../exports/lib FONTCONFIG_PATH=../../lib/fontconfig ../../exports/bin/fc-cache -v -f; fi
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../exports/lib
+ FONTCONFIG_PATH=../../lib/fontconfig
+ ../../exports/bin/fc-cache -v -f

../../exports/bin/fc-cache: failed
make: *** [install] Error 10
For some reason, fc-cache is insisting on looking at my 4.2 Debian
install's /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Since I am doing my "make install"
as a user and not root, fc-cache doesn't have permission to write in
the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directories. Nor, especially, do I want
it to. How come fc-cache isn't honoring my NothingOutsideProjectRoot
variable?
Can someone whack me with a cluestick please?
