RE: Compile Problems.

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

The patches you applied from mail archives were fro XFree86 4.0.1 and may
not
apply cleanly to XF86 4.0.2 or CVS version.

My latest patches to XF86 were applied to CVS day before yesterday (Feb
13th).
When did you do a CVS update?  
The following error mean there is a missing #endif in xc/config/cf/Imakefile
or 
or one of the required *.cf *.rules *.tmpl files.

These are a bit time consuming to figure out.  However the XF86 from CVS
at http://www.xfree86.org should compile.  I have checked it. Are you sure
that
you got CVS sources downloaded properly.  You ran cvs update on a directory
which contained XF86 4.0.2 sources from *.tar.gz files?  I am affraid cvs
update my not
have worked.  You need to do a cvs checkout to make sure you get all the
files properly.
