hi robert,
% ls -al
/Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib
total 8
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 May 29 03:41 .
dr-xr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 May 29 03:41 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 99 May 30 22:17 classes.nib ->
../../../../../../../../xc/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle/English.lpro
j/ MainMenu.nib/classes.nib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 99 May 30 22:17 objects.nib ->
../../../../../../../../xc/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle/English.lpro
j/ MainMenu.nib/objects.nib
I can't figure what the files might be redirecting to. Is it /../xc at the
root level? Seems wrong.
hmmmm ... now that you mention it, that IS wrong ... points to nothing ... why
a relative link?
I wonder also about permissions. Tiger seems to
want root:wheel for more things, but that may not extend to Application
bundles.
no dice on changing perms ...
I recall that the symlinking was the problem I had last year in getting
Xdarwin and X11 apps to work. The solution was to use the Xorg lndir method
to create a build tree
did that ...
then to replace build/programs/Xserver with
xc/programs/Xserver (i.e. cp -Rp ../xc/programs/Xserver ../programs from
within xorg/build) then make World.
argh. i used to do this. STILL an issue !? but, you're making some sense =)
so, i'll start from scratch, apply 'evertyhing i've got' (patches, link
corrections, etc) and re-MakeWorld ...
here goes.

What happens if you just copy the nib files into the final bundle (and any
other files that had their links copied instead of the files)? When I had
the problem
build/programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/bundle/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/ had links
to non-existent files.
i'm uclear on all the linked files ... trying the re-build, as above ...
I built X11.app last on May 1, a few days after installing 10.4. There were
a few fatal errors related to declared externs that were defined as statics
and there was a problem with a header file no longer around (I believe). But
I did get 6.8.2 installed.
fair enuf.
i'll report back when done with this build.
cheers,
richard
