Description

Here's a small collection of Xorg issues found in fresh svn book.

1) Introduction to Xorg-7.4:

done 2>&1 | tee -a ../xorg-${section}-compile.log #log the entire loop

'-a' parameter for 'tee' is probably unneeded

2) Same section of the book:

... $XORG_PREFIX/share/man as a MANDATORY_MANPATH in /etc/man_db.conf.

But MANPATH_MAP and MANDB_MAP are forgotten

3) xcb-proto-1.1:

No need in running make

4) xcursor-themes:

Failes to compile if ${XORG_PREFIX} is not in PATH variable. That is the case, until we have xorg-server installed and environment reloaded with relogin.

Here's the solution:

/etc/profile.d/X.sh:
if [ -d <XORG_PREFIX>/bin ]; then
        pathappend <XORG_PREFIX>/bin
fi

Then run su - and you should be set up.

Continues logging if you have to restart for some reason (having commented out the completed packages). Though this is not mentioned in the book, I'm inclined to leave it in. The rest is good for fixes.

Oh yeah, 4 was actually invalid. The Xorg introduction page did cover it.
