configuration for building x.org source

[lbdgwgt]

hi all,

i am building small linux system. i am trying to compile my X windows, downloaded fro X.org version X11R6.8.2.

the only installation guide i can found is from the site.
it seems that when i run "make world" it compiles everything.
how can i configure the installation, so the size will be quiet small? since i will install it on a Compact Flash Card. (e.g. selecting only the appropriate driver, etc.)

from an article found in the internet :

http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9202043619.html

it says that it is possible to create X windows system with the size 5MB RAM and 16MB disk. and clues how to do it?

thanks for the help.

Hi all,

So im back again with the question. i try googling and find this thread in the forum but it doesnt help much:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red...e86-build.html

I am new to linux actually, but now im doing cross development project to make small linux system on Compact Flash card.
I am using OpenSuse 10.1 with Intel processor as my host and my target ystem is also x86 processor and will boot from the CF card.

I am finished with the basic system, now im starting with the X windows system. I have some questions that i couldnt find the answer after googling.

I am using the X11R6.7.0. from X.org and I am planning to do:
- make the shadow directory build using lndir command
- configure the host.def file
- build the X windows:

make CROSSCOMPILEDIR=<PATH_TO_CROSS_COMPILER> World

- install to the CF card (supposed it is mounted on /mnt/cf):

make install DESTDIR=/mnt/cf

can i do this?

i am desperating since the last 3 days just to try build the package but it always fail. is there any detail reference to do this?
i even cannot find a reference that describes what are the directories in the source packages for, and how to make the configuration.

big thanks for helping for the beginner
