Re: [Gumstix-users] Tinyx vs. "the newer kdrive server"

[Bhaskar M. <bha...@gm...>]

Hi Dave,
     this is the last jhbuildrc that i had used. it places the
libraries and binaries in the staging_dir of buildroot and that help
in building the window manager. change the hardcoded paths to your
needs.
    you will have to write a script for stripping the binaries and
copying them to build-arm/root or do it manually. i am not able to
find my scripts in this machine. will send them to you if i find them.
    for testing purposes try and see if you can get the buildroot
tinyx to compile since it is the cleanest  way to test out the
xserver.
Bhaskar.

d.  For some reason, the binaries didn't end up on my gum, though they got =
build on the compile machine coLinux.  If I have to debug Makefiles anyway,=
 maybe I'm better off using the freedesktop kdrive server?
