Thanks John.
Looking back at the build log I find several ominous messages in 'depend'.
For example, "line 39): cannot find include file "Xplugin.h""
The depend messages are generally warnings. However, in this case it isn't.
BTW I had checked for the installation of the 11LibApple binary package as
described in the README. When I couldn't find /usr/include/Xplugin.h I
installed "X11UserForMacOSX.mpkg/Contents/X11LibApple.pkg of the X11 User
package" from Beta33 before kicking off the build. BUT I forgot to check to
see if this actually installed "Xplugin.h". Well it turns out it did _not_.
In fact, "Xplugin.h" is not in the BOM of
X11UserForMacOSX.mpkg/Contents/X11LibApple.pkg in _any_ of the three X11
beta dmgs:( FWIW there is a "./usr/X11R6/include/xp/x-plugin.h" in the BOM
of the first two betas but not v3.
SO... Is "Xplugin.h" really required?
Xplugin.h is required. As John Harper mentioned, XFree86 is not good
about reporting build failures, so many "success" reports are
probably erroneous if they don't have this file. I generally find the
best way to check for errors if to do something like:
grep -w Error world.log
And if so, where would I find one
laying around handy?
You can get a copy which was up to date with Beta 3 in XFree86 CVS at
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/quartz/xpr. I have not tried building
the WWDC version, so the interface may have changed slightly. If
different, the newest one will be checked into the same place when
available.
