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 case $packagedir in libxshmfence* ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -D_GNU_SOURCE" ;; libICE* ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG ICE_LIBS=-lpthread ;; libXfont2-[0-9]* ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG --disable-devel-docs ;; libXt-[0-9]* ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG \ --with-appdefaultdir=/etc/X11/app-defaults ;; * ) ./configure $XORG_CONFIG ;; esac make #make check 2>&1 | tee ../$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 three symlinks to satisfy the expected environment of several packages. Execute the following commands as the root user: ln -sv $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11 /usr/lib/X11 && ln -sv $XORG_PREFIX/include/X11 /usr/include/X11 Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories cxpm and sxpm libdmx.so, libfontenc.so, libFS.so, libICE.so, libpciaccess.so, libSM.so, libX11.so, libXaw6.so, libXaw7.so, libXaw.so, libXcomposite.so, libXcursor.so, libXdamage.so, libXext.so, libXfixes.so, libXfont2.so, libXft.so, libXinerama.so, libXi.so, libxkbfile.so, libXmu.so, libXmuu.so, libXpm.so, libXrandr.so, libXrender.so, libXRes.so, libxshmfence.so, libXss.so, libXt.so, libXtst.so, libXvMC.so, libXvMCW.so, libXv.so, libXxf86dga.so and libXxf86vm.so $XORG_PREFIX/include/X11/fonts, $XORG_PREFIX/include/X11/Xtrans, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libFS, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libICE, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libSM, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libX11, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXaw, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXext, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXi, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXmu, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXrender, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXt, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXtst, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/libXvMC, $XORG_PREFIX/share/doc/xtrans and $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/locale Short Descriptions cxpm checks the format of an XPM file. cxpm sxpm shows an XPM file and/or converts XPM 1 or 2 files to XPM 3. sxpm libdmx.so is the X Window System DMX (Distributed Multihead X) extension library. libdmx.so libfontenc.so is the X11 font encoding library. libfontenc.so libFS.so is the library interface to the X Font Server. libFS.so libICE.so is the X Inter Client Exchange Library. libICE.so libpciaccess.so is the generic PCI Access library for X. libpciaccess.so libSM.so is the X Session Management Library. libSM.so libX11.so is the Xlib Library. libX11.so libXaw6.so is the X Athena Widgets Library, version 6. libXaw6.so libXaw7.so is the X Athena Widgets Library, version 7. libXaw7.so libXaw.so are symbolic links to the current X Athena Widgets Library, version 7. libXaw.so libXcomposite.so is the X Composite Library. libXcomposite.so libXcursor.so is the X Cursor management library. libXcursor.so libXdamage.so is the X Damage Library. libXdamage.so libXext.so is the Misc X Extension Library. libXext.so libXfixes.so provides augmented versions of core protocol requests. libXfixes.so libXfont2.so is the X font library. libXfont2.so libXft.so is the X FreeType interface library. libXft.so libXinerama.so is the Xinerama Library. libXinerama.so libXi.so is the X Input Extension Library. libXi.so libxkbfile.so is the xkbfile Library. libxkbfile.so libXmu.so is the X interface library for miscellaneous utilities not part of the Xlib standard. libXmu.so libXmuu.so is the Mini Xmu Library. libXmuu.so libXpm.so is the X Pixmap Library. libXpm.so libXrandr.so is the X Resize, Rotate and Reflection extension library. libXrandr.so libXrender.so is the X Render Library. libXrender.so libXRes.so is the X-Resource extension client library. libXRes.so libxshmfence.so exposes an event API on top of Linux futexes. libxshmfence.so libXss.so is the X11 Screen Saver extension client library. libXss.so libXt.so is the X Toolkit Library. libXt.so libXtst.so is the Xtst Library. libXtst.so libXvMC.so is the X-Video Motion Compensation Library. libXvMC.so libXvMCW.so is the XvMC Wrapper including the Nonstandard VLD extension. libXvMCW.so libXv.so is the X Window System video extension library. libXv.so libXxf86dga.so is the client library for the XFree86-DGA extension. libXxf86dga.so libXxf86vm.so is the client library for the XFree86-VidMode X extension. libXxf86vm.so
