-                                  Abstract
-
-     This document describes how to build the X Window System from the
-     X.Org monolithic source distribution and is designed to be used in
-     conjunction with the operating system (OS) specific README files.
-
-     NOTE:  Refer to the appropriate OS-specific README file in xc/pro-
-     grams/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc before attempting to build the X dis-
-     tribution.  These files often contain additional information that
-     you need to successfully build for your OS.
-
-We highly recommend using gcc to build the X distribution, but X also gener-
-ally builds with the native compiler for each OS platform; The build tools
-known to be required include: gcc, make, C library development package, bi-
-son, flex, ncurses (development package), and Perl.
-
-The monolithic tree also includes copies of some packages maintained outside
-the X.Org project for convenience in building on machines that do not already
-have them installed.   These include FreeType 2, fontconfig, expat, xterm,
-and zlib.   For most uses however, it is recommended that you install the
-latest version directly from the main distribution site, or use the packages
-provided in your operating system, as they are more likely to be up to date
-with the latest bug fixes and security patches.   Depending on your platform,
-use of the bundled versions may be enabled or disabled by default, check the
-Imake configuration files for your platform in xc/config/cf to find out.  To
-override the defaults for your platform or to set the path to the installa-
-tion location, see the instructions below on configuring the source via
-xorgsite.def and host.def.
-
-X11R6.9 depends on the following external packages:

-1.  How to get the X11R6.9 distribution source
-
-One way of getting the X11R6.9 source is to obtain it directly from the X.Org
-CVS repository.  There are several ways of doing that, and they are described
-in the CVS section of our wiki <URL:http://wiki.x.org/> The CVS tag for this
-release is "XORG-6_9_0".   The tag for the maintenance branch for this
-release is "XORG-6_9-branch".
-
-Another method of getting the X11R6.9 source is to either download the 6.9.0
-source tarballs sites from freedesktop.org using either ftp or http.  The
-procedure for this is as follows:
-
-   o The X11R6.9 source is contained in the files:
-
-          X11R6.9.0-src1.tar.gz
-
-          X11R6.9.0-src2.tar.gz
-
-          X11R6.9.0-src3.tar.gz
-
-          X11R6.9.0-src4.tar.gz
-
-          X11R6.9.0-src5.tar.gz
-
-          X11R6.9.0-src6.tar.gz
-
-          X11R6.9.0-src7.tar.gz
-
-     These can be found at ftp://ftp.freedesk-
-     top.org/xorg/releases/X11R6.9/src/ or http://xorg.freedesk-
-     top.org/releases/X11R6.9/src/    and similar locations on X.Org mirror
-     sites.  X11R6.9.0-src4.tgz and X11R6.9.0-src5.tar.gz contains the fonts.
-     X11R6.9.0-src6.tar.gz contains the documentation source.
-     X11R6.9.0-src7.tar.gz contains the hardcopy documentation.
-     X11R6.9.0-src1.tar.gz, X11R6.9.0-src2.tar.gz and X11R6.9.0-src3.tar.gz
-     contains everything else.  If you don't need the docs or fonts you can
-     get by with only X11R6.9.0-src1.tar.gz, X11R6.9.0-src2.tar.gz and
-     X11R6.9.0-src3.tar.gz.
-
-   o Extract each of these files by running the following from a directory on
-     a filesystem containing enough space (the full source requires around
-     305MB, and a similar amount is required in addition to this for the com-
-     piled binaries):
-
-          gzip -d < X11R6.9.0-src1.tar.gz | tar vxf -
-
-          gzip -d < X11R6.9.0-src2.tar.gz | tar vxf -
-
-          gzip -d < X11R6.9.0-src3.tar.gz | tar vxf -
-
-          gzip -d < X11R6.9.0-src4.tar.gz | tar vxf -
-
-          gzip -d < X11R6.9.0-src5.tar.gz | tar vxf -
-
-          gzip -d < X11R6.9.0-src6.tar.gz | tar vxf -
-
-          gzip -d < X11R6.9.0-src7.tar.gz | tar vxf -
-
-All methods will produce one main source directory called xc.
-
-2.  Configuring the source before building
-
-In most cases it shouldn't be necessary to configure anything before build-
-ing.
-
-If you do want to make configuration changes, it is recommended that you
-start by going to the xc/config/cf directory, and copying the file
-xorgsite.def to host.def.  Then read through the host.def file (which is
-heavily commented), and set your configuration parameters. Usually you can
-find the default settings by checking the .cf file(s) relevant to your OS.
-
-A good rule to follow is only to change things that you understand as it's
-easy to create build problems by changing the default configuration.  Many of
-the configuration parameters are described in the xc/config/cf/README.
-
-If you are using just the X11R6.9.0-src1.tar.gz, X11R6.9.0-src2.tar.gz and
-X11R6.9.0-src3.tar.gz parts of the source dist, you will need to define
-BuildFonts to NO.
-
-3.  Using a shadow directory of symbolic links for the build
-
-A recommended practice is to use a shadow directory of symbolic links to do
-the build of X11R6.9 as this allows you to keep the source directory unmodi-
-fied during the build.  It has the following benefits:
-
-   o When you are using CVS to maintain your source tree, the update process
-     is not disturbed by foreign files not under CVS's control.
-
-   o It is possible to build X11R6.9 for several different Operating System
-     or architectures from the same sources, shared by read-only NFS mounts.
-
-   o It is possible to build X11R6.9 with different configuration options, by
-     putting a real copy of the host.def file in each build tree and by cus-
-     tomizing it separately in each build tree.
-
-To make a shadow directory of symbolic links, use the following steps:
-
-   o create the directory at the top of the build tree. It is often created
-     at the same level that the xc directory, but this is not mandatory.
-
-          cd the directory containing the xcdirectory
-
-          mkdir build
-
-   o use the "lndir" command to make the shadow tree:
-
-          lndir ../xc
-
-     Note that you can refer to the xc directory with an absolute path if
-     needed.
-
-     See the lndir(1) manual page for details.
-
-If lndir is not already installed on your system, you can build it manually
-from the X11R6.9 sources by running the following commands:
-
-     cd xc/config/util
-
-     make -f Makefile.ini lndir
-
-     cp lndir some directory in your PATH
-
-Occasionally there may be stale links in the build tree, like when files in
-the source tree are removed or renamed.  These can be cleaned up by running
-the "cleanlinks" script from the build directory (see the cleanlinks(1) man-
-ual page).  Rarely there will be changes that will require the build tree to
-be re-created from scratch.  A symptom of this can be mysterious build prob-
-lems.  The best solution for this is to remove the build tree, and then re-
-create it using the steps outlined above.
-
-4.  Building and installing the distribution
-
-Before building the distribution, read through the OS-specific README file in
-xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc that is relevant to you.  Once you have
-addressed the OS-specific details, go your build directory (either the xc
-directory or the shadow tree created before) and run "make World" with the
-BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS set as described in the OS-specific README (if necessary, but
-most systems supported by X11R6.9 don't need BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS).  It is advis-
-able to redirect stdout and stderr to World.log so that you can track down
-problems that might occur during the build.
-
-With Bourne-like shells (Bash, the Korn shell, zsh, etc.) use a command like:
-
-     make World > World.log 2>&1
-
-Witch C-shell variants (csh, tcsh, etc), use:
-
-     make World >& World.log
-
-You can follow the progress of the build by running:
-
-     tail -f World.log
-
- in a terminal.
-
-When the build is finished, you should check the World.Log file to see if
-there were any problems.  If there weren't any then you can install the bina-
-ries.  By default the "make World" process will exit at the first error.  To
-restart the build process after correcting the problems, just run 'make'.  If
-Imakefiles or part of the build configuration was changed as part of correct-
-ing the problem, either re-run "make World", or run "make Everything".
-
-If you would prefer "make World" to ignore errors and build as much as possi-
-ble, run it in the following way instead of the way described above:
-
-for Bourne-like shells:
-
-     make WORLDOPTS=-k World > World.log 2>&1
-
-for C-shell variants:
-
-     make WORLDOPTS=-k World >& World.log
-
-To do the install, run "make install" and "make install.man".  Make sure you
-have enough space in /usr/X11R6 for the install to succeed.  If you want to
-install on a filesystem other than /usr, make a symbolic link to /usr/X11R6
-before installing.  To install the tree into a different directory than
-/usr/X11R6 you can specify DESTDIR:
-
-     make install DESTDIR=<install_target_dir>
-
-     make install.man DESTDIR=<install_target_dir>
-
-Cross compiling is supported if the appropriate config files for your target
-platforms exist. You must have the compiler toolchain installed for your tar-
-get platform and the C-compiler must know where those tools exist. To inform
-the build system where your cross compiler is located set the make variable
-CROSSCOMPILEDIR to the directory where the toolchain binaries are installed.
-
-     make World CROSSCOMPILEDIR="<cross compiler dir>";
-
-.
-
-5.  Reconfiguring the server (source distribution)
-
-To build a different set of servers or servers with a different set of
-drivers installed:
-
-  1.  Make sure the source for any new drivers is in the correct place (e.g.,
-      driver source should be in a subdirectory of xc/pro-
-      grams/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers).
-
-  2.  Change the settings of the server defines in host.def to specify which
-      servers you wish to build.  Also, change the driver lists to suit your
-      needs.
-
-  3.  From xc/programs/Xserver, run:
-
-                make Makefile
-                make Makefiles
-                make includes
-                make depend
-                make
-
-6.  Other useful make targets
-
-There are some other useful targets defined in the top level Makefile of
-X11R6.9:
-
-   o Everything after a make World, make Everything does everything a make
-     World does, except the cleaning of the tree. It is a way to quickly
-     rebuild the tree after a source patch, but it is not 100% bullet proof.
-     There are cases were it is better to force a full build by using make
-     World.
-
-   o clean does a partial cleaning of the source tree. Removes object files
-     and generated manual pages, but leaves the Makefiles and the generated
-     dependencies files in place. After a make clean you need to re-run
-
-                  make includes
-                  make depend
-                  make
-
-     to rebuild the X11R6.9.
-
-   o distclean does a full cleaning of the source tree, removing all gener-
-     ated files. After a make distclean, make World is the only option to
-     rebuild X11R6.9.
-
-   o includes generates all generated header files and in-tree symbolic links
-     needed by the build. These files are removed by a make clean.
-
-   o depend recomputes the dependencies for the various targets in all Make-
-     files. Depending on the operating system, the dependencies are stored in
-     the Makefile, or as a separate file, called .depend. This target needs
-     the generated include files produced by make includes.
-
-   o VerifyOS displays the detected operating system version. If the numbers
-     shown do not match your system, you probably need to set them manually
-     in host.def and report the problem to Xorg via our bug database at X.Org
-     Bug Database <URL:https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?prod-
-     uct=xorg> or via email at <xorg@lists.freedesktop.org>.
