7 Rebuilding XFree86

Contents of this section

The server link kit allows you to build an X server using a minimum amount of disk space. Just unpack it, make the appropriate changes to xf86site.def, type ``./mkmf' and ``make'' to link the server. See README.LinkKit for more info.

The source tree takes about 114Mb before compiling and an additional 100Mb after ``make World''. You should configure the distribution by editing xf86site.def and site.def in xc/config/cf before compiling. By default, the config files are set up to build shared libraries.

To compile the sources on FreeBSD 1.1 and later, edit xc/config/cf/FreeBSD.cf to set the OS version parameters correctly, and then type:

 make World
