User Notes: First, create a list of files to be downloaded. This file will also be used to verify the integrity of the downloads when complete: cat > lib-&xorg-version;.md5 << "EOF" &xtrans-md5sum; xtrans-&xtrans-version;.tar.bz2 &libX11-md5sum; libX11-&libX11-version;.tar.bz2 &libXext-md5sum; libXext-&libXext-version;.tar.bz2 &libFS-md5sum; libFS-&libFS-version;.tar.bz2 &libICE-md5sum; libICE-&libICE-version;.tar.bz2 &libSM-md5sum; libSM-&libSM-version;.tar.bz2 &libXScrnSaver-md5sum; libXScrnSaver-&libXScrnSaver-version;.tar.bz2 &libXt-md5sum; libXt-&libXt-version;.tar.bz2 &libXmu-md5sum; libXmu-&libXmu-version;.tar.bz2 &libXpm-md5sum; libXpm-&libXpm-version;.tar.bz2 &libXaw-md5sum; libXaw-&libXaw-version;.tar.bz2 &libXfixes-md5sum; libXfixes-&libXfixes-version;.tar.bz2 &libXcomposite-md5sum; libXcomposite-&libXcomposite-version;.tar.bz2 &libXrender-md5sum; libXrender-&libXrender-version;.tar.bz2 &libXcursor-md5sum; libXcursor-&libXcursor-version;.tar.bz2 &libXdamage-md5sum; libXdamage-&libXdamage-version;.tar.bz2 &libfontenc-md5sum; libfontenc-&libfontenc-version;.tar.bz2 &libXfont2-md5sum; libXfont2-&libXfont2-version;.tar.bz2 &libXft-md5sum; libXft-&libXft-version;.tar.bz2 &libXi-md5sum; libXi-&libXi-version;.tar.bz2 &libXinerama-md5sum; libXinerama-&libXinerama-version;.tar.bz2 &libXrandr-md5sum; libXrandr-&libXrandr-version;.tar.bz2 &libXres-md5sum; libXres-&libXres-version;.tar.bz2 &libXtst-md5sum; libXtst-&libXtst-version;.tar.bz2 &libXv-md5sum; libXv-&libXv-version;.tar.bz2 &libXvMC-md5sum; libXvMC-&libXvMC-version;.tar.bz2 &libXxf86dga-md5sum; libXxf86dga-&libXxf86dga-version;.tar.bz2 &libXxf86vm-md5sum; libXxf86vm-&libXxf86vm-version;.tar.bz2 &libdmx-md5sum; libdmx-&libdmx-version;.tar.bz2 &libpciaccess-md5sum; libpciaccess-&libpciaccess-version;.tar.bz2 &libxkbfile-md5sum; libxkbfile-&libxkbfile-version;.tar.bz2 &libxshmfence-md5sum; libxshmfence-&libxshmfence-version;.tar.bz2 EOF To download the needed files using wget, use the following commands: mkdir lib && cd lib && grep -v '^#' ../lib-&xorg-version;.md5 | awk '{print $2}' | wget -i- -c \ -B &xorg-download-http;/lib/ && md5sum -c ../lib-&xorg-version;.md5 &as_root; Some libraries come with a test suite. If you wish to execute them, either comment out the rm -rf ... below, so that, after all libraries are installed, you can come back to the corresponding directory and run make check, or do individual builds, running the tests for each of those distributed with working test suites. Alternatively, you can uncomment the line #make check ..., and at the end, check the test results with: grep -A9 summary *make_check.log BLFS developers have confirmed that libX11, libXt and libxshmfence are distributed with working test suites. First, start a subshell that will exit on error: bash -e Install all of the packages by running the following commands: for package in $(grep -v '^#' ../lib-&xorg-version;.md5 | awk '{print $2}') do packagedir=${package%.tar.bz2} tar -xf $package pushd $packagedir docdir="--docdir=$XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/$packagedir" case $packagedir in libICE* ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG $docdir ICE_LIBS=-lpthread ;; libXfont2-[0-9]* ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG $docdir --disable-devel-docs ;; libXt-[0-9]* ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG $docdir \ --with-appdefaultdir=/etc/X11/app-defaults ;; * ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG $docdir ;; esac make #make check 2>&1 | tee ../$packagedir-make_check.log as_root make install popd rm -rf $packagedir as_root /sbin/ldconfig done Finally, exit the shell that was started earlier: exit ./configure $XORG_CONFIG ICE_LIBS=-lpthread: This fixes a change in glibc which breaks pulseaudio at runtime. --disable-devel-docs: Disable generation of text documentation in the libXfont2 package if is installed without a text browser. Omit this parameter (or the entire case statement) if a text browser is installed. --with-fop: Use to generate PDF documentation (only for the libXfont package). If you've chosen to install Xorg into /usr, then no further configuration is necessary and you can skip the rest of this section. If you've opted for an alternate prefix, you should create two symlinks to satisfy the expected environment of several packages.
