r718ef79 r275005c 17 17 18 18 <para>This chapter contains instructions to build and configure a graphical 19 user environment. You will need to choose one of the two packages in BLFS 20 that implements the <application>X Window System</application>: 21 <application>Xorg</application> X11R7 (<xref linkend="xorg7"/>), or 22 <application>XFree86</application> (<xref linkend="xfree86"/>). The 23 functionality of these two packages is quite similar. In fact, 24 the base system of <application>Xorg</application> was derived from the 25 <application>XFree86</application>-4.4.0RC2 code (note that the 26 <application>Xorg</application> build system has changed, but the underlying 27 core code is the same). Differences in the licensing philosophies was the 28 original reason for the split.</para> 29 30 <para>A second reason for the forking of <application>X</application> 31 packages is the stated goals of the developers. Some developers were unhappy 32 with the administration and progress of <application>XFree86</application>. 33 The X.org Foundation's future plans include significant improvements to the 34 internals of the system and more frequent releases.</para> 35 19 user environment.</para> 20 36 21 <para><application>Xorg</application>-&xorg7-version; introduces a completely 37 22 autotooled build system which means that the packages build and install 38 23 using the conventional <command>configure</command>, <command>make</command> 39 and <command>make install</command> commands, but it nowrequires installing24 and <command>make install</command> commands, but it requires installing 40 25 more than 100 different packages.
