Re: Compilation of the source, and aquisition of binaries

["Wayne Jackson" <warp_kez at bigpond dot net dot au>]

Using the cygwin distro downloaded via the "setup.exe" binary:

First thing I do after making the modifications to the config files; I run
make World.

Then I run the install segments, but when I go the /usr/X11R6/* only the
libraries are present, not very many executable binaries.

Compiling Xfree86 under a Unix environment by doing: make World && make
Install && make Install.man will create all the binaries needed to run X.

Is there a step that I am missing in regards to this distro of X?

Step I am taking:
1) Rename site-cygwin.def to site.def
2) In ~/xc make World
3) make install
4) make install.man

And that is it, nothing else is done as there is nothing to run.

I know doing the same with the code from X.Org will only produce the
libraries, and only a few exec's similar to what is happening in this case.
