- Right, compiling the libraries is a pretty straight-forward thing. However,
- before you do so, you might still want to try out Geert's current X11R6pl13
- compilation (e.g. from:
- ftp.phil.uni-sb.de:/pub/atari/linux/X11R6pl13/
- or
- ftp.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de:/pub/amiga/linux/X11R6pl13/
- ). It fixes a few problems with messages like
- "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0, needed by <...>, not found"
-
- (Btw - I'm not sure if the person who wrote the first part of this message
- actually tested if the binary was built or not - the warnings I wrote down
- above are in fact only _warnings_, but the binaries get built and run ok).
-
- Before installing the ELF X11 package, be really sure all your old a.out
- libraries and objects (*.o, *.a, *.so, *.sa) are in /usr/m68k-linuxaout/lib
- so that the 'classic locations' (like /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib and
- /usr/X11R6/lib) only contain ELFish files.
