XFree86 is a freely redistributable open-source implementation of the X Window System. XFree86 provides a client/server interface between display hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized application interface (API). Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download size: &xfree86-size; Estimated Disk space required: &xfree86-buildsize; Estimated build time: &xfree86-time; . The following packages are included in the XFree86 package, however they are updated more often than the XFree86 package and are highly recommended: , and If you choose to not install these separate packages, the host.def file below will have to be modified to instruct XFree86 build them. There are several files that need to be fetched from the download location: X430src-1.tgz X430src-2.tgz X430src-3.tgz X430src-4.tgz X430src-5.tgz X430src-6.tgz X430src-7.tgz You should also download the patch file: The first three packages are the XFree86 programs, the fourth and fifth are fonts, the sixth is normal documentation, and the seventh is hardcopy documentation. There are also two packages doctools-1.3.1.tgz, which contain programs to regenerate hardcopy documentation, and utils-1.1.0.tgz, which contain gnutar and zlib which are already installed on an LFS system. To check your downloads for integrity, download the SUMS.md5sum file. Then: md5sum X430src* > md5sums && diff md5sums SUMS.md5sum The only differences you should see are for README, doctools-1.3.1.tgz, and utils-1.1.0.tgz files if you did not download them. The fixes subdirectory also has a SUMS.md5sum and this can be checked against the patch file: md5sum 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz After unpacking the X430src-?.tgz files, change to the xc directory and run: gunzip 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz && patch -Np1 -i 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff
