I'm having some troubles compiling Xfree86 version 4.4.0 on my homebrew Linux system (kernel 2.4.20). A 'make World' recognizes my system as:
Linux distribution: unknown libc: 6.2.2 binutils: 21.3 GCC: 3.0
I've compiled with and without changes to certain .cf files, but in the end that doesn't matter.
Thus far the programs 'bdftopcf' and 'mkcfm' produce undefined references to all kind of symbols during compilation (eg. xf86printf, xf86strlcat). These symbols seem to be defined in source files contained in the directories under xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/. When "make World" arrives at 'bdftopcf' these files (in the form of .o and/or .a files) aren't compiled yet... Running 'make' manually from within the directories does create the objects and libraries, however still an error occurs while compiling scanpci.c under .../xfree86/etc/ (i.e. undefined reference to 'cos').
Also, the Makefile of 'bdftopcf' for example, does not contain a line to include the library archive which contains the symbol xf86printf (which appears in .../os-support/libxf86_os.a). The Makefile does include the library freetype, fntstubs and Xfont, of which the latter contains an undefined reference to xf86printf, so maybe here's something going wrong... I mean, maybe Xfont shouldn't miss this symbol.
Now I've manually added the required library paths and names to the Makefile, but that's not the way ofcourse. So I'm puzzled as to why the libraries under .../hw/xfree86/ aren't created on time. Any ideas?
I think there's something in your setup that's interfering with a proper build. So let's start with a C&P of the command line used by `make World` to compile bdftopcf.c.
