To John Pell: can you share any details about getting the Xorg 6.8.2
working on Tiger? I got it compiled (with help from my G5 panther
system), but X11 does not start at all.
I am not John Pell, but I do have 6.8.2 compiled and running. First I
discovered that even though there were many make errors, the script did not
exit. I only found this out after the fact. The code in the hw/darwin
section contained some refs to headers that were in the 10.3.9 SDK. That
was one set of errors. The other was a few places where headers declared
things such as "extern void foo(void);" in headers and the function itself
was "static void foo(void) {}." I have seen a few of these recompiling
stuff with gcc4.0.
Another issue is that if you follow the X way of compiling in an 'lndir'
tree, Panther (at least) would not create the nib files properly. That may
no longer be the case, but I just replicate the server part of the tree
inside my xorg/build/programs tree, and that error disappears.
