This is more related to VNC, but the error I'm getting may have the VNC people say its an XFree86 issue. So I thought I'd post the question here as well and see if any XFree86 people have any thoughts...
------------- Forwarded message follows ------------- I'm building my own Linux box from the ground up (LFS 6.2 base) and have gotten to the point of RealVNC. I have a compiled (or uncompiled available) source tree for XFree86 4.6.0. After having to patch one small file, it compiled fine and is working with no problems. On to RealVNC...
Following the instructions, I've combined the RealVNC xc directory with the XFree86 xc directory. Applying the patch resulted in 2 chunks failing, but it appears the "patches" are already part of the code. Nevertheless, this is not causing the errors.
Next, I issue the 'make World >& world.log' and the first error I get is:
make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/local/packages/currently/vnc-4_1_2-unixsrc/unix/xc/programs/Xserver/vnc/Xvnc' make[5]: *** No rule to make target `../../Xi/stubs.c', needed by 'stubs.c'. Stop.
There is no 'stubs.c' in the .../Xi/ directory. There exist only two
That code was removed because it is no longer needed after a rework of the way support for extensions is included in servers.
in the 4.6.0 source tree:
./programs/xrx/plugin/stubs.c ./programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf86cfg/stubs.c
Since the 'plugin' version is virtually nothing, I attempted a hack and symlinked the 'xf86cfg' stubs.c inside the Xi directory. This got me past this error (at least for this stage of compilation). However, the next error I get is:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so: undefined reference to `XkbLookupKeySym' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[7]: *** [xdmxconfig] Error 1
Which would lead one to think XFree86 has the error. But if that's the case then why didn't this error show up when compiling XFree86 _without_ VNC?
Because the patch you applied needs to be reworked to properly apply to the XFree86 4.6.0 source.
