4<para><userinput>WORLDOPTS="" make World 2&gt;&amp;1 | tee xfree-compile.log</userinput>:
5This command runs multiple makefiles to completely rebuild the system.
6WORLDOPTS="" disables the default setting to continue after encountering an error.
7<userinput>2&gt;&amp;1</userinput> redirects error messages to the same location
8as normal output. The <userinput>tee</userinput> command allows viewing of
9the output while logging the results to a file.</para>

11<note><para>When rebuilding XFree86, a separate command that may be used if only minor
12changes are made to the sources is <userinput>make
13Everything</userinput>. This does not automatically remove generated
14files and only rebuilds those files or programs that are out
15of date.</para></note>

19<userinput>ln -sf /usr/X11R6/include/X11 /usr/include/X11</userinput>:
20These commands are present to enable other (broken) packages to build
21against XFree86. We do this even though the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
22says:
23"In general, software must not be installed or managed via the above
24symbolic links. They are intended for utilization by users only."</para>

27XFree86 compatible kernel modules.</para>
