Instroduction to Xorg Applications

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 http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/x/wget/app-7.1.wget &&
cd app &&
wget -B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/app/ -i ../app-7.1.wget

Semi-Automated Build

The semi-automated built assumes that you are using subdirectories as discussed in the introduction. It also assumes that the app-7.1.wget file is available in the base directory (xc). After entering the app subdirectory, unpack the source tarballs: 

for i in *.tar.bz2; do
  tar xvf $i;
done

Patch the four applications with security vulnerabilities: 

cd xdm* &&
patch -Np1 -i ../xdm-Template:Xdm-Version-setuid-1.patch &&
cd ../xf86dga* &&
patch -Np1 -i ../xf86dga-Template:Xf86dga-Version-setuid-1.patch &&
cd ../xinit* &&
patch -Np1 -i ../xinit-Template:Xinit-Version-setuid-1.patch &&
cd ../xload* &&
patch -Np1 -i ../xload-Template:Xload-Version-setuid-1.patch &&
cd ..

Build and install the applications in the app-7.1.wget file: 

for dir in `sed "s/.tar.bz2//g" ../app-7.1.wget`; do
 cd ${dir} &&
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++  ${BUILD32}" \
 ./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&
 make &&
 make install &&
 make distclean &&
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++  ${BUILD64}" \
 ./configure $XORG_CONFIG64 &&
 make &&
 make install &&
 cd ..;
done

Next install the remaining Xorg Data files.

Contents

There are 92 Xorg application packages, each of which installs one or more files. The interested party can issue the following 'make install' command to create a complete list of files installed and their installed location in the main working directory (xc): 

make install 2>&1 | tee ../../<name_of_app>.files
