I wanted to install XFree 4.4.0 from source and followed the "Building XFree86 from a Source Distribution" manual at http://www.xfree.org/4.4.0/BUILD.html. In section "3. Using a shadow directory of symbolic links for the build", you discuss the usage of "lndir". I followed the instructions step by step (using lndir already installed on my system - Debian unstable) and I found an error occuring - you should not have specified this:
"cd the directory containing the xcdirectory
mkdir build
lndir ../xc
"
, which returns "../xc: No such file or directory", but you should have added line "cd build" before "lndir" command:
"cd the directory containing the xcdirectory mkdir build cd build lndir ../xc "
The problem was fixed by this modification.
Quite right. I have just committed a change to rectify this. Thanks for pointing it out.
