Introduction to Xorg7/Utilities

There are five utilities. Note that the download source, above is the base URL. Each could be downloaded individually, but it is probably easiest to use wget and append either *.bz2 or *.gz to the base URL to pull them all down to your system.

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/index.php/Special:Filepath/Util-20101205.wget &&
mkdir -p util &&
cd util &&
wget -B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/util/ -i ../Util-20101205.wget

The utilities xorg-cf-files, imake, and gccmakedep should be built in order before the other utilities. Utilities lndir and makedepend can be built in either order.

Configuration Information

The imake utility has some configuration options that prevent default applications from being built.

--disable-revpath: don't build revpath.

--disable-makeg: don't build makeg.

--disable-xmkmf: don't build xmkmf.

--disable-ccmakedep: don't build ccmakedep.

--disable-mergelib: don't build mergelib.

--disable-mkdirhier: don't build mkdirhier.

--disable-cleanlinks: don't build cleanlinks.

--disable-mkhtmlindex: don't build mkhtmlindex.

Non-Multilib

There is a hardcoded path in X11.tmpl for the Motif directory in the xorg-cf-files package. To correct this:

sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@$XORG_PREFIX@" X11.tmpl

Install the xorg-cf-files package with the following commands:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make install

Build the remaining packages with the standard build commands:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make

Install the package:

make install

Semi-Automated Build

The semi-automated build assumes that you have created the subdirectories discussed in the introduction. After entering the utils directory, unpack the packages:

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

Make and install xorg-cf-files:

cd xorg-cf-files* &&
sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@$XORG_PREFIX@" X11.tmpl &&
./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make &&
make install &&
cd ..

Make and install the packages:

for dir in imake gccmakedep util-macros lndir makedepend; do
cd ${dir}* &&
./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make &&
make install &&  
cd ..;
done

Multilib

Note

On my system (AMD64) at least, util-macros installs it's pkg-config file to '$XORG_PREFX/share/pkg-config/' instead of '$XORG_PREFIX/lib{,64}/pkgconfig'. Moving the 'xorg-macros.pc' file to the correct location fixed some later errors.

32Bit

First install the xorg-cf-files package with the following commands:

sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@$XORG_PREFIX@" X11.tmpl &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&
make install

On at least my ppc64, running a 32-bit xmkmf still picks up -m64 and lib64 references. comments in the template suggest at least part of this might be arch-specific. You can either test xmkmf after installing imake, or apply the following brute-force sed to one of the templates you have just installed:

sed -i -e 's/m64/m32/g' \
-e 's%lib64%lib%g' ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib/X11/config/linux.cf

Next, install the imake package with the following commands:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 --with-script-preproc-cmd="gcc ${BUILD32} -E" &&
make &&
make install &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/imake{,-32} &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/xmkmf{,-32} &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/ccmakedep{,-32}

At this point you can test xmkmf to make sure it finds the 32-bit values. If these are wrong, it will break the compilation of 32-bit packages which use xmkmf to find where X is installed. The test creates a minimal Imakefile and then uses that to create a Makefile.

cat >Imakefile <<'_ACEOF'
incroot:
        @echo incroot='${INCROOT}'
usrlibdir:
        @echo usrlibdir='${USRLIBDIR}'
libdir:
        @echo libdir='${LIBDIR}'
_ACEOF

ln -sv /usr/bin/multiarch_wrapper ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/xmkmf
ln -sv /usr/bin/multiarch_wrapper ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/imake
USE_ARCH=32 PKG_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig \
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" xmkmf
rm ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/{xmkmf,imake}

If running this test, examine the Makefile it generated - all the libraries, particularly SYSTEMUSRLIBDIR, should be lib not lib64, and all invocations of gcc, particularly PREPROCESSCMD and LD, should use -m32 instead of -m64.

If your result is different, backup the linux.cf file from the 32-bit xorg-cf you installed, run the sed, and retest.

Next, install the gccmakedep package with the following commands:

sed -i '/-DCCCMD=/s/$(CC)/"\\"&\\""/' Makefile.in &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure $XORG_CONFIG32 &&
make &&
make install &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/gccmakedep{,-32}

Build the three remaining packages with the standard build commands:

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

Install the package:

make install

N32

First, install the xorg-cf-files package with the following commands:

sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@$XORG_PREFIX@" X11.tmpl &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIGN32 &&
make install &&
echo "#define ManDirectoryRoot /usr/share/man" >> /usr/lib32/X11/config/host.def &&
sed -i -e "s/LibDirName *lib$/LibDirName lib32/" /usr/lib32/X11/config/Imake.tmpl &&
sed -i -e "s/LibDirName *lib$/LibDirName lib32/" /usr/lib32/X11/config/X11.tmpl

Next, install the imake package with the following commands:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIGN32 --with-script-preproc-cmd="gcc ${BUILDN32} -E" &&
make &&
make install &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/imake{,-n32} &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/xmkmf{,-n32} &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/ccmakedep{,-n32}

Next, install the gccmakedep package with the following commands:

sed -i '/-DCCCMD=/s/$(CC)/"\\"&\\""/' Makefile.in &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure $XORG_CONFIGN32 &&
make &&
make install &&
mv -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin/gccmakedep{,-n32}

Build the three remaining packages with the standard build commands:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIGN32 &&
make

Install the package:

First, install the xorg-cf-files package with the following commands:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG64 &&
make install &&
sed -i -e "s/LibDirName *lib$/LibDirName lib64/" ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib64/X11/config/Imake.tmpl &&
sed -i -e "s/LibDirName *lib$/LibDirName lib64/" ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib64/X11/config/X11.tmpl

Next, install the imake package with the following commands:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \

Short Description

xorg-cf-files	provides templates, rules, and configuration information used to build Xorg components.
imake	is the include make program. Imake takes a template file (Imake.tmpl) and a prototype (Imakefile) and runs cpp on them producing a Makefile. It then optionally runs make on the Makefile.
gccmakedep	creates dependencies in makefiles. Same as makedepend except it uses gcc.
lndir	is used to create a copy of the a directory tree that has links for all non-directories.
makedepend	creates dependencies in makefiles.
