Introduction to the Xorg Server
The Xorg Server is the backbone of the X Windows system.
Dependencies

- Xorg Fonts
Optional
Configuration Information
Note: If you intend to build with Mesa, you must have the Mesa source directory available when building the Xorg-server.
--with-mesa-source=...:This switch directs the build system to the Mesa source directory. If you wish to build without Mesa, omit this switch. |
--with-dri-driver-path=...: The location of the Mesa DRI drivers. |
--enable-install-setuid: The Xorg binary must run as the root user. This switch ensures that the binary is installed setuid when make is run by an unprivileged user. |
--enable-xgl: Build the xgl server. |
--enable-xglx: Build the Xglx xgl module. |
--enable-xegl: Build the Xegl xgl module. |
--enable-builddocs: Causes documentation to be built. |
--disable-dri: Disable building of the DRI extension; required if building without Mesa. |
--disable-xprint: Disable building of the Xprint extension and server; required if building without Mesa. |
Non-Multilib
Apply the patch to fix the security vulnerability in the xorg-server.
patch -Np1 -i ../xorg-server-1.9.2.901-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 pass the --with-mesa-source switch to the configure script.
./configure $XORG_CONFIG \ --with-mesa-source='</path/to>/Mesa-7.9' \ --with-dri-driver-path=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/xorg/modules/dri \ --enable-install-setuid && make
There is no test suite for the xorg server. Install the server.
