Re: RE:Building XFree


Suhaib M. Siddiqi,

Yes, I am relative new to compiling xfree.
I followed your advice and tracked down my problem

Xext did not build because X11 lib did not build.
X11 did not build because there is no -lipc ?
It seems I built IPC and renamed it but missed the crucial step of
installing it in the search PATH......
Hmm, well, what can I say..........

I will try rebuilding it again


Also while I am here, I also get the following error
make[1]: *** Warning:  Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete.
Should I just ignore it?

Tks for the help and the good work

Regards Trevor
