Short: Sources of the basic X11 system Author: X Consortium, Inc. - OS4 port by Edgar Schwan Uploader: Edgar Schwan (http://www.amicygnix.de / eds amicygnix de) Type: misc/x11 Version: X11R6.3 Architecture: generic This are the sources of the basic X11 system used in the Unix environment AmiCygnix version 1.7. In the AmiCygnix directory you can find a skeleton of AmiCygnix, where the sources are located in "AmiCygnix/CygnixPPC/src/ X11R6.3". The sources are separated in the X11R6.3 package in the subdirectory "xc" and the contribution package in the subdirectory "contrib". The sources (especially the sources of my included utility library) are compiled with the AmigaOS 4 SDK version 53.32. To make it easier for you, some already compiled utilities for AmigaOS 4 are located in "AmiCygnix/CygnixPPC/bin" and "AmiCygnix/CygnixPPC/X11R6.3/bin". How to build ------------ Step A: Initialize the AmiCygnix environment -------------------------------------------- Before you can build the AmiCygnix X11 software, the AmiCygnix environment must be initialized. There are two ways how you can do that: Option 1: You can use an existing AmiCygnix installation. For this copy the drawer "AmiCygnix-X11-src/CygnixPPC/src/X11R6.3" to "Cygnix:CygnixPPC/src" and continue with step B. Option 2: Copy the drawer "AmiCygnix-X11-src" to your desired destination and add this to your user-startup: ;BEGIN Cygnix Assign Cygnix: "/AmiCygnix-X11-src" Execute Cygnix:s/Cygnix-Startup ;END Cygnix Afterwards make a reset and continue with step B. Step B: Build the utility library "libaos4util-newlib.a". --------------------------------------------------------- Open a shell, cd into the directory "Cygnix:CygnixPPC/src/X11R6.3/xc/aos4" and type "make". Step C: Build and install the X11 system libs and programs. ----------------------------------------------------------- Open a shell, cd into the directory "Cygnix:CygnixPPC/src/X11R6.3/xc" and type "make -f makefile.amigaos4 World". Good luck! Afterwards go to your coffe machine and drink several cans of coffee ;-). I guess this step needs over 1 1/2 hours (depends on your hardware). When the build process finished successfully, install the includes, libs and programs by typing "make -f makefile.amigaos4 install" into the shell. Step D: Build the contribution software. ---------------------------------------- Open a shell, cd into the directory "Cygnix:CygnixPPC/src/X11R6.3/contrib". Afterwards launch the abc-shell by typing "sh" into the shell. Then type "xmkmf -a /Cygnix/CygnixPPC/src/X11R6.3/xc" to create the makefiles of the contribution package. Now you can build the programs with "make" and install them with "make install". If everything went o.k., you are ready to compile the packages of the AmiCygnix base package and tools package.
