7 Rebuilding the XFree86 Distribution

Contents of this section

The server link kit allow you to rebuild just the X server with a minimum amount of disk space. Just unpack it, make the appropriate changes to the site.def, type `./mkmf' and `make' to link the server. See /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/README for more info.

See /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/INSTALL for instructions on unbundling and building the source distribution. You will need about 250Mb free for the sources, objects and binaries during the build.

You should configure the distribution by editing xc/config/cf/xf86site.def before compiling. To compile the sources, invoke

  make World
in the xc directory.
