Yow,

this is realy weird ... I have been able to install xfree before ... but when I tried to upgrade with the new ebuild file (xfree-4.2.0-r12.ebuild) compilation stopped with an error
Code:
make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xc/fonts/scaled/TTF'
rm -f fonts.dir
rm -f *.CKP *.ln *.BAK *.bak *.o core errs ,* *~ *.a .emacs_* tags TAGS make.log
 MakeOut  "#"*
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xc/fonts/scaled/TTF'
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xc/fonts/scaled'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xc/fonts'
cleaning in ./doc...
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xc/doc'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xc/doc'
make[1]: *** [clean] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xc'
make: *** [World] Error
(I tried to compile the sources myself without all the patches etc. but came up with the same error which is shown here)

I checked in doc and discovered the Makefile was completely empty, in subdirs as man & hardcopy there are no Makefiles at all (duno whether that's supposed to be). I thought this was quite strange, because I have been able to compile xfree with the ebuild files (r9).

I tryed some more ... and appearantly, when I compile x without the X402.src.2.tar.gz (so without the fonts) there's no compilation error...

what's the problem here ???

btw: compiler 2.95.3 optimisation flags = "-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" ... quite standard I'd say

Grtz

So I ran into the problem as well but this is what I found...

On one system I installed step 1 and compiled everything from there. After the installation and reboot I would install VIM and it would try to compile xc in XFree86 and fail like yours did. However if I put -gtk -gnome in my USE variable it would build fine but then I ran into other stuff not compiling right... such as qt.

If I installed all 3 step from the tbz2 files and then rebooted and emerged VIM and KDE everything compiled and worked fine. SOOO... there is something in between Stage 2 and 3 on self compilation that is different then when using the pre-built ones.

hope this help some.

hmz, the thing is, I didn't have this problem when I installed the system the first time (compiling everything from scratch). I haven't recompiled my X since then... maybe there's something with the flags ... I duno ... gonna check it out

anyways, thx for your reply ;)

Hmm, I have the same CFLAGS, and also have a totally from
source build system, but I have compiled it more than 10
times the last week or two (-r12). Maybe we are missing
a DEPEND needed somewhere for the xfree ebuild (like tetex
or something). I am just shooting in the dark here though.

Any feedback will be appreciated.
