Xorg Server

The Xorg Server is the backbone of the X Windows system.

Dependencies

Required

Xorg Fonts

Optional

MesaLib

Installation

Note: If you intend to build with Mesa, you must have the Mesa source directory available when building the Xorg-server.

Non-Multilib

Apply the patch to fix the security vulnerability in xorg-server-1.1.0.

 patch -Np1 -i ../xorg-server-1.1.0-setuid-2.patch

Correct the Mesa header search path.

 sed -i \
   's@-I$(top_builddir)/include@-I$(top_builddir)/GL/mesa/main@8' \
   GL/glx/Makefile.in &&
 sed -i \
   's@-I$(top_builddir)/include@-I$(top_builddir)/GL/mesa/glapi@7' \
   GL/glx/Makefile.in

Compile the server. Note that you will need to provide the correct path to the Mesa source files on your system if you're building with Mesa. If not building with Mesa, then don't include --with-mesa-source in the configure command.

 ./configure $XORG_CONFIG \
   --with-mesa-source='</path/to>/Mesa-6.5' \
   --with-fontdir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts \
   --with-module-dir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules \
   --with-dri-driver-path=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules/dri \
   --enable-install-setuid &&
 make

There is no test suite for the xorg server. Install the server.

 make install
