Introduction to Xorg7/Apps

There are 92 applications available for Xorg. Once again, the most efficient method of retrieving the source tarballs is to append *.bz2 or *.gz to the URL above.

Alternately, if you chose to use subdirectories, the tarballs can be retrieved as follows. This will prevent multiple versions from being downloaded when multiple versions exist.

wget https://cblfs.clfs.org/Special:Filepath/App-20101205.wget &&
mkdir -p app &&
cd app &&
wget -B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/app/ -i ../App-20101205.wget

Note

Not all applications are required for a working X Windows. Many are nothing more than demonstration programs. Applications bdftopcf, mkfontdir, mkfontscale, xcursorgen, xinit, and xkbcomp are the minimal requirements. The compiz application is not included in the wget list because it depends on too many packages. If you still wish to build it you can download it from the mirror listed at the top of the page.

Dependencies

Required

• Xorg Libraries

In addition to the Xorg Libraries, certain applications have required non-Xorg dependencies as listed below.

Application		Depends On
bitmap		xbitmaps
compiz		XCB, startup-notification, LibXML2, LibXSLT, Xorg7/MesaLib, Glib2, GConf, D-BUS Glib, FUSE, Cairo, librsvg, Gtk2, Metacity, Qt3, KdeBase, KDE4/KdeBase, Perl Module XML::Parser
grandr		Gtk2, GConf
Xbiff		xbitmaps
Xcursorgen		libpng
Xdriinfo		MesaLib
Xfd		netkit-rsh
Xsm		FreeType

Non-Multilib

Before building Xrx execute the following command in the top level of its source directory:

sed -i "/PLUGIN_CFLAGS=-I/s/-I.*$/'&'/" configure

Before building xscope execute the following command in the top level of its source directory:

sed -i "1i\#include <rpc/types.h>" scope.c

If you're building Compiz with GConf support the use the following for the configure command for Compiz:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG --with-gconf-schema-file-dir=/etc/gnome/gconf/schemas

Compile the package:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make

Install the application.

make install

Before building xscope execute the following command in the top level of its source directory:

sed -i "1i\#include <rpc/types.h>" scope.c

If you're building Compiz with GConf support the use the following for the configure command for Compiz:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG --with-gconf-schema-file-dir=/etc/gnome/gconf/schemas

Compile the package:

USE_ARCH=32 PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++  ${BUILD32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&

Semi-Automated Build

These automated build instructions assume that you are using subdirectories as discussed in the introduction. You must also have an unaltered copy of Lib-20101205.wget in the main working directory (xc). This file lists each library in an order that ensures dependencies are satisfied.

Non Multilib

Install the packages:

top=$PWD
cat ../App-20101205.wget | while read package; do
  packagedir=$(sed -e "s/\.tar\.bz2//" -e "s/\.tar\.gz//" <<< $package)

  cd $top || break;

  grep ^$packagedir$ done && continue;

  tar xvf $package &&
  cd $packagedir &&

  case "${packagedir}" in
    xrx-*) sed -i "/PLUGIN_CFLAGS=-I/s/-I.*$/'&'/" configure || break ;;
    xscope-*) sed -i "1i\#include <rpc/types.h>" scope.c || break ;;
  esac

  ./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
  make &&
  make install &&

  cd .. &&
  rm -rfv $packagedir &&

  echo "$packagedir" >> done || break
done
rm done
